Gavin Tipper 5k
The Gavin Tipper 5k is a memorial running event organized by Action Heart. The event takes place in the DY6 0AW postcode area. All proceeds from the race, excluding booking fees, are donated to Action Heart to support their cardiac rehabilitation services.
The race is held in memory of Gavin Tipper, a long-time member of the DK Rugby Club who was known for scoring the club's only try at Twickenham. Following his rugby career, he dedicated his time to coaching children at Black Country Triathletes, Tipton Harriers, and Halesowen cycling. The event reflects his commitment to youth sports and general participation in physical activity.
