Lymm 5k Road Race

Sat 26-Jun-2010 at 3:30pm (fun run at 4pm)

The race start is an hour earlier in 2010 than the usual start time.  This is to avoid a possible clash with a football World Cup match.

Introduction

The Lymm 5k Road race was first run in 2003.  The race is run under UKA Rules (minimum age 13 years) on an accurately measured 5k road course. There is also a fun run which is approx 2k or 1.2 miles.

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

There is a free hot drink and a cake for all pre-entered runners.  You must pre-enter the race for this.  On-the-day race entrants and guests may be able to buy refreshments for a small charge.

Car parking is available at the school and on local roads.  Please park responsibly showing respect for the local residents.  Thank you.

Race Route

The race starts and finishes in nearby Highfield Road which is about a quarter of a mile away from the school.  The race is on roads and lanes in the Lymm area.
