Organiser's Description

We are so excited to announce a brand new Chase The Sun event in 2021! Come and join us for our first ever Coventry Chase The Sun in the War Memorial Park, and choose between a 5k or 10k.

Coventry War Memorial Park is the biggest park in Coventry, and this year it is celebrating its 100th year since opening in 1921! The Park is now listed as a Grade II park by English Heritage and the War Memorial itself is listed as Grade II by English Heritage.

Battle to get around the course to the finish line before the sun goes down – play it safe and fly round the 5k to finish before sunset or go for the extra challenge of the 10k. Come and join us for a unique race you will not forget!

There will be plenty of portaloos brought on site for the event.

Refreshments

There will be water provided at the 5k point of the race, and there will also be water available at the finish. We have also ordered some flapjacks and fruit for when you finish :-)

During the race

We will have marshals all around the course as well as km signs and arrows. The course is 1.5 laps for the 5k and 3 laps for the 10k. The course is on the roads/paths in the park.

Please be aware that there will be spectators and members of the public using the park.

Spectators

In terms of spectating, this park could literally not be any better, the fields are open and every area of the park is accessible to see people running round.

Results

Pictures

We will have a photographer taking a few snaps of the race and they will be on Facebook after the race so be sure to check it out and see if you can spot yourself.

Things to note!

There WILL be pedestrians, please be aware of pedestrians, cyclists and dogs. We have marshals around the course and signs but this is not a road race, you have to pay very close attention to where you are going. We recommend you do not use earphones and you need to pay close attention to everything around you.
