Preston Fast 5 Road Race
The Preston Fast 5 Road Race is a dedicated 5 km event held at the University of Lancashire Sports Arena in Preston. Organized by Preston Harriers, this event takes place on an accurately measured one-mile cycle track. The course is traffic-free, flat, and features no tight corners, designed specifically to facilitate fast running times.
Participants complete three laps of the cycle track to reach the full distance. The event is characterized by a focused environment with no prizes or additional festivities. Participants must be at least 16 years old on the day of the race to compete.
The event is divided into two separate waves based on predicted finishing times:
- 5 km (Race 1: Target time under 18:00 minutes)
- 5 km (Race 2: Target time over 18:00 minutes)
Each wave has a strict entry limit of 60 participants. All runners must register in advance as there are no entries accepted on the day of the event. Race numbers are available for collection at the venue on the evening of the race. The University of Lancashire Sports Arena provides on-site toilet facilities for all attendees. This race is part of a series of four Wednesday evening events held during the spring and early summer months. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
