EXETER 10km & 5km MCTF Run The Track
This event is a track-based running race at Exeter Arena Athletics Track, Exeter EX4 8NT, held on Sunday 20th September. It is part of a series of MCTF Run The Track events held across the country through late summer and autumn.
Races are staged on a proper athletics track with deliberately small fields and heats set by expected finishing time so runners are grouped by pace. Personal split lap chip timing records each lap, and overall chip timing provides an accurate finish time. Each finisher receives a bespoke medal created for the series.
Key practical details include entry fees and optional charges: 5K entry fee £17 and 10K entry fee £23, a £2 levy for non UK Athletics members, and a 6% booking fee. The event description emphasizes a flat, traffic-free surface and the simplicity of track running compared with road courses.
Distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
Entries close on Saturday 19th September. The format focuses on measured laps, clear timing data for pacing analysis, and a limited field to reduce congestion on the track. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
