Event overview

Starting and finishing at Hamilton Panther's Clubhouse we will have a 5k loop all on paths. Runners will run the route clockwise and anticlockwise on alternative laps, making it a really sociable event. This definitely won't be a mud-fest! There will be refreshments, cake and food at the clubhouse. As well as a well stocked aid station, toilets and showers. This run was created as a social run for friends to meet up and enjoy running, walking, chatting together. At the end of each 5k lap, you can decide whether you want to head out for another- and another! Running a marathon is not compulsory. There will be no cut-off times as such, but we would ask people to start their final lap before 3pm so that the club house will still be open when you finish. The event will be officially timed, results will be published and for those working towards 100 marathons, the marathon will count. Miles will also count towards the SYRY 100 mile club. Everyone taking part will receive a special memento. Race numbers to be collected at Registration on the day.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
