The Beat The Sunset 5km Road Race is an evening road race run on closed roads in the Northamptonshire countryside, starting and finishing on Back Lane in Desborough. The course is a single flat lap on smooth asphalt that weaves through residential streets and quiet country lanes before a long, fast downhill finish. Runners set off at 7pm, so the race unfolds as the summer light changes over the fields. It draws a mixed field of first-time 5K runners and club athletes chasing a personal best, and registration includes parking, toilets, chip timing and a finisher medal.
