Track 5k Thursday 03 April 2024

31 March 2025 - By Jodee Mayer

Our last Winter 5k of this block will take place on Thursday 03 April 2025 rom 8pm (see further below). This will replace the usual speed development session. 

Runners: The time trial is for all and is free of charge for members. Race vests not required but feel free to wear them! If you have any queries about time trials do speak to a member of the coaching team.

Venue: Colchester Gateway, Cuckoo Farm Way, Colchester, CO4 5YX. There is car parking on site – parking is free but you need to enter your registration number into one of the tablets in the main building. Do not forget to do this, there is no way to rectify it if you forget. If you can offer a lift, or need a lift, please comment below or on the Facebook page.  Car sharing, as always, is encouraged.

Time: We do not have access to the track until 8:00pm, but we will be in the cafe from at around 7.40pm to hand out numbers. If you want to warm up before 8pm please do not use the track. The race will start at approx 8:10pm – we have the track booked until 9pm and this should allow most, if not all, to complete a 5k time trial if they wish.

Volunteers: We will a few lap counters please. Club champs points available as usual.

Course: 1km loop as per the picture below – this is the same course as the ATW 5k in August for those that took part. You will have someone counting your laps as above. The loop is about as flat as you can get and has meant some fast times on the course before.

So in summary then:

See you all there!
