Alderton 5k Run
The Alderton 5k Run is a community 5-kilometre road race held on Sat 4th September 2027 at Alderton Playing Field, Beckford Road, Alderton, GL20 8NL. Now in its 16th year, the event raises funds for Alderton Acorns; 100% of entry fees go to the registered charity.
The course is a fairly flat out-and-back on closed country roads with distance markers at every kilometre and a small ascent after the turnaround. Water is provided at the start, the turnaround (approximately 2.5 km) and the finish. Runners are requested to keep to the right-hand side of the road. Finish-line photos are available and junior finishers receive a free medal; other runners may order a finisher’s medal for £6 when entering.
Entry fees for 2027 are listed with an early bird period and standard rates; Couch to 5k or first 5 km entries are offered free through the organisers. Under 16s, dogs, pushchairs and escorted runners are welcome; children under 12 should be accompanied by an adult. A no-questions-asked full refund or transfer policy applies.
Facilities at Race HQ include toilets and portable toilets, race-number collection, parking next to the playing field following event signage, refreshments including tea and coffee, and activities provided by Alderton Acorns for young children. A race guide and course GPX/map are available for more detailed information. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
