Fighter 5k
The Fighter 5k takes place on 16/05/2027 at Great Massingham Airfield, PE32 2EY (What3Words ///flop.bombshell.cards). The event is organised by West Norfolk Athletic Club on former RAF airfield land with permission from Leicester House Farm.
The course is a single lap that uses the perimeter track and runways. The surface is fully run-able concrete and the event uses chip timing to provide on-the-spot results. The course is officially measured with course number 24/515 and is run under an England Athletics licence. No recce runs are permitted because the event is on private land. Drones are not allowed. The course is not suitable for wheelchair racers. Dogs may attend as spectators but may not accompany runners. Parking is directed to a carpark on the old main runway.
Prizes include cash awards for the top three male and female finishers: 1st £40, 2nd £20, 3rd £10. A £50 bonus is paid for any new male or female course record; if no record is set the bonus rolls over year to year up to £250, with any unclaimed monies donated to the East Anglian Air Ambulance. Age group winners in U17, Senior, V35, V40, V45, V50, V55, V60 and V65+ male and female receive free entry to the following year and will be contacted once with a deadline of 1 January to claim their place. All finishers receive a sew-on military style patch and refreshments on crossing the line.
The race raises funds for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, The Purfleet Pantry and Great Massingham Football Club. Entries are non-refundable and non-deferable; transfers to another runner are allowed until midnight on 13/05/2027. Total Race Timing provide support with entries, results and recording.
