A friendly 5K three-way track challenge

This is a friendly 5K four-way track challenge between Ipswich JAFFA, Stowmarket Striders, Felixstowe Road Runners and Saint Edmund Pacers running clubs.

The challenge comprises of two legs; leg 1 being hosted by JAFFA at Northgate Sports Centre in Ipswich. Leg 2 is hosted by Pacers at the Abbeycroft Leisure Centre in Bury St Edmunds.

There are three separate races for the Seniors allowing for all abilities. Each race is chip timed and points are allocated to the first 10 male runners and first 10 female runners for each club across the three events. Points for both legs are combined to give the winning Club!

The Junior event is raced over 1500 metres and the first five girls and first five boys for each club are allocated points. Again points from both legs are combined to give the winning Club.

There is also a shorter 800 metre race for under 11’s to take part in.

This event is free of charge and open to all Pacers, of all abilities.

Please contact Kieron Bales if you are interested in running (he is usually at the track every Wednesday evening and would love to hear from you!)
