Five Mile Race
Runners must be aged 15 or above on day of the race
Late entries will only be available if race limit of 500 has not been reached online. Please check the race entries for up to date number of entries before travelling to avoid disappointment.
Please allow plenty of time before the race to collect bib numbers which will be handed out on the night.
Cut-Off Time
The Friday 5 races have a cut-off time of 1 hour 15 minutes. This means runners are expected to complete the race within this time frame. The cut-off is designed to ensure the safety of both participants and volunteers, especially as daylight fades and being on open roads becomes riskier.
The final 600m of the Kirton course includes approximately 400m of road with no footway and therefore once the light fades this will not be safe to allow runners to continue. It is up to the Race Director to decide whether runners will be permitted to continue and when to enforce the cut-off.
If you are likely to take more than 75 minutes to complete the 5 miles, please contact the race director in advance so that we can arrange a safe way for you to compete – this may involve an escort cyclist or similar to ensure your safety.

5 mile route
Mostly on minor country roads but start and finish are on a sports field and there is one section 0.8 miles long of quite uneven footpath which can be muddy in places. Off-road amounts to around 20% of total. Unfortunately, the bulk of the first mile is on a bridleway which makes it unsuitable for wheelchairs/buggies.
Fun Run
The fun run is approximately 1.5 miles with medals to all finishers. Under 9’s must be accompanied by an adult at all times as the run is on public roads
Late entries will be available on the night but entering online is preferred to save congestion at registration.
From 2022, fun runs in the series feature chip timing and series results
