POSTPONED:
Alderton 5k Run 2020 - Sat 29th Aug

Fast, flat and friendly 5k with family fun while you run!

Alderton 5k Run 2020 postponed to 2021 


This post has something of an inevitability about it but I'm afraid that we have to cancel the Alderton 5k Run 2020. We hoped that restrictions would be eased in time to allow us to run but unfortunately the latest guidance from the Government and England Athletics require event organisers to demonstrate that they can run a COVID-secure event and I'm afraid that we haven't been able to find a way to do so. This is disappointing news for everyone concerned but I hope you understand.

​As you know the Alderton 5k Run exists to raise money for Alderton Acorns our village Pre-School and Toddler group. Like many small organisations Alderton Acorns is having a difficult time financially and this cancellation will put further pressure on them at a time when they can least afford it. As such if you've entered in advance we'd ask you to please consider the options below carefully. If you can afford to donate your £10 entry we'd very much appreciate it.

Anyone who has already entered has a number of options:
1. Rollover your entry to the 2021 event
2. Donate your 2020 entry
3. Full refund

​An email will be going out shortly to all advance entries informing them of their options and what to do.
​
For those who have not yet entered we'll be running a virtual event with loads of entries to 2021 up for grabs. Keep an eye out over the next few days for details.

I'd like to thank everyone for your support and look forward to seeing you in 2021.

Best of luck with your running and keep safe.

Mark, Race Director
Monday 10th August 2020

You can, if you really want to, enter on the day, but we prefer you to book online as it helps us understand how many people are coming and reduces queues on the day!  

Parking

Parking is next to Alderton playing Fields. Follow postcode GL20 8NL and parking is signposted. Please follow the directions of our marshalls if requested to do so. 

The Course

The race is an out-and-back course run on closed roads on picturesque, quiet country lanes from Alderton, past the hamlet of Great Washbourne where it turns just before the A46 at Beckford. 

The course is fairly flat and is ideal for clocking a good 5k time.

Post-race massage

Picture
Provided by Becky from www.glos-sportstherapy.co.uk in exchange for donations to Alderton Acorns a post-race sports massage will help you to recover from the race, flush out the lactic acid build-up, reduce post-exercise soreness and improve blood flow to tight muscles. Sounds good to us! 

Family entertainment 

Picture
The Alderton 5k is family friendly with Alderton Acorns' friendly, qualified staff providing outdoor games, activities and fun for the little ones before, during and after the run. And if that's not enough new for 2018 Alderton Playing Field also has a nice shiny new playground!

Tea & Cake

Picture
A full range of refreshments including teas, coffees and soft drinks are available to keep your supporters refreshed while you run. You can also concentrate on your run without worrying that there won't be enough cake left at the end for you - because there will be!
