ATW Colchester Friday Night Runs
ATW Colchester Friday Night Runs is an evening road running event at Colchester Sports Park, Cuckoo Farm Way, Colchester, CO4 5YX. The event incorporates the Essex 5K County Championships and uses chip timing with results published on Power of 10. Each course is officially measured and holds a UK Athletics licence and course certificate.
The course is a closed road circuit on smooth tarmac, run anticlockwise with no sharp bends and a finish on the main straight. It is described as flat and traffic-free. The programme includes a short fun run and several 5 km races, finishing with designated elite women’s and men’s 5 km races sponsored by Radley. Children under eight years must be accompanied by an adult who holds their own entry.
Chip-timed results from all 5 km races are merged to produce Essex County 5 km Championship results in male and female categories including Open, V40, V45, V50, V55, V60, V65, V70+ and Teams. Qualification for the Essex championships requires being born in Essex or resident for nine months, being over 18, not having competed for another county in the race year, representing a first claim club and wearing its vest, and entering a valid UKA number and club name at booking.
Entry prices range from GBP 16 to GBP 24. The organiser permits transfers to another ATW event up to 48 hours before the event but does not offer refunds or transfers to another person. Fundraising opportunities for Alzheimer’s Research UK are available at checkout. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
