Sunset 5k 6.30pm and Beat The Sunset 10k 7.20pm
Sunday August 14th 2022
Sunday August 14th 2022
Entries open Friday May 20th via Run Britain
The Sunset 5k will be part of the NRRL Road Race League for 2022
In addition there will be Beat The Sunset 10k which is a non race league race.
Due to the 5k in need to be cleared 1st, BTS 10k must start at 7.20pm. Sunset is predicted at 8.31pm. This will also be a little more challenging and there are no street lights on Back Lane so if you expect to be slower than 60 minutes you may want to bring some form of lighting with you.
If you are 40 minute plus for the 5k you will be asked to keep to your far left side so as not to get in the way of the 10k start.
N.B. It is possible to enter both races. If you do, DO NOT USE THE SAME NUMBER FOR BOTH RACES!
You will also have to be around 25 minutes or quicker for the 5k to pin a new number and 3-5 minutes to run back up the hill to the start!

N.B. Due to our timing provider having one timing mat anyone finishing 38 minutes for the 5k or slower will be gun timed so we have enough time to return this to the start of the 10k.
