Peter Lowe Memorial Hollins Green 5k Road Race

Sat 5-Jun-2010 at 4:30pm

Results

Results for the 2010 race and for previous years are available.  Please click on one of the links under "Race results" at the right of this page.

Introduction

The race is in Hollins Green, in the far east of Warrington, and was established in 2002.  It is named after Peter Lowe, a Spectrum Striders club member who was killed in a road accident whilst out running nearby in January 2002.  The race is run under UKA Rules (minimum age 13 years) on an accurately measured 5k road course.

The race is the second race in the North Cheshire 5k Grand Prix series of road races.  More information on the 5k Series is available on this web site.

This is the 4th race (of 7) in the 2010 Cheshire County Road Race Grand Prix, run by the Cheshire County AA.  Click here for more information on the RR GP.

We have opted for a late Saturday afternoon start so that you can use the race to relax after doing your shopping and gardening!

Car parking

Parking is available behind the Community Centre and on local roads in the village.  Parking in the village is limited and it would be appreciated if you could share cars if possible.

Please park responsibly, showing respect for the local residents.  Thank you.

Race Route

The race starts in the centre of the village close to the Black Swan pub and the Village cross.  There is a small loop within the village before it heads out towards Glazebrook, returning to Hollins Green along quiet country lanes.  The finish is in centre of the Village, near to the start.
