Organiser's Description
No frills. No hills. Just you, the track, and the clock.
The Rag Tag 5K brings racing back to its simplest form: 12.5 laps on the track at Count Basie Field, at night, under the lights. No winding course, no tricky turns, no excuses. A precisely measured 5K built for one thing: running your best time.
Never raced on a track? This is your chance. There's nothing quite like the energy of a night race: the lights overhead, the crowd lining the rail, and the lap-by-lap push to the finish. Whether you're chasing a PR, testing your fitness before winter, or just want to see what you can do on a fast surface, the Rag Tag 5K delivers an atmosphere you won't find at your typical road race.
Low key in the best way. High energy where it counts.
Grab your crew, lace up, and come run fast with us under the lights.
Please note - timing will be manual (no F.A.T.). And places will be denoted using popsicle sticks. We did say Rag Tag after all...
