Other questions
Yes, the event is beginner-friendly with average fitness requirements and a supportive atmosphere for all abilities.
The course is very flat with only 39 ft of ascent, making it one of the fastest 5-mile courses in the UK and excellent for PBs.
The event has recycling bins, uses finish line water bottles made from recycled material, provides refill taps, uses paper cups at water stations, uses reusable garden wire instead of plastic cable ties, implements dynamic bib assignment to reduce waste, and provides bike racking to promote cycling to the event.
The course description is provided: starts at The Forum, goes along College Lane, The Alban Way, Wilkins Green Lane, Smallford Lane, Sleapcross Gardens, A414 footpath, Comet Way, and returns along Alban Way to finish.
Expect a well-organized event with an event village, free parking, supportive marshals, a flat fast course, and a positive atmosphere with finish line snacks and custom medals.
