Newstead Abbey Dash 5K

Held on a Friday evening in the romantic grounds of Lord Byron’s historic stately home, our much-loved 5km race offers a truly memorable setting. The course begins with a fast 1km descent towards the abbey and lake, followed by a short, shady incline and a steady stretch out to the turning point near Newstead village. Runners then return past the lake to finish on the green directly in front of the abbey. Prizes are awarded for overall and category positions, and we keep entry fees as low as possible to ensure the event remains accessible to both elite and recreational runners.
