Organiser's Description

We’re back for another evening 5k and 10k Chase the Sun event in Victoria Park, and it's a battle to get around the course before the sun goes down!

The wide, flat paths offer a brilliant opportunity for a personal best. Each km is accurately marked out with sign posts, and we have plenty of helpers to keep you on track and to encourage you on your way to the finish. Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!

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.

Slow runner alert. My first run-through event at Victoria park last night and it was so well organised. All the Marshall's were super supportive and helpful, especially as I was so slow!! Would love to book another race soon!

It was well organised....but the run wasn’t great. Victoria Park isn’t easy to get to, and the run itself in the rain was good because it kept me cool, was very boring. You effectively ran around an avenue of trees and there was little else to do. I was happy with my time (don’t get me wrong), but did not enjoy the race itself.
