- 1K and 3k races start at 6.30pm
- Memory Mile starts at 7.00pm

The Series is run on a relatively flat, traffic free route, which has resulted in some fast times in the past with most 5K races being won in sub15. The event incorporates a 5K Series, a 3K and 1K Junior Series and a Memory Mile Series. The mile series is one of only a few in the country off track.
A £1 donation from ALL entry fees this year will go to the Alzheimer’s Society.
The junior 3K races have been licensed in addition to the 5K and Memory Mile to allow times to be uploaded to Runbritain/Power of 10.
