Personal split-lap chip timing captures each and every lap, so you can see exactly how you paced your race from start to finish, while overall chip timing gives you a clean, accurate finish time to be proud of. Cross the line and you'll earn a bespoke medal, custom-designed for the series and yours to keep as a mark of the day. No traffic, no potholes, no getting lost — just flat, fast, honest running on a surface built for it. With early-entry places from just £17 for the 5km and £23 for the 10km, it's premium racing at a friendly price. Limited places, big atmosphere — secure your spot and run your best.
