Springfield Striders Friday Night 5
The event is a five-mile road race held in the Essex countryside on 26 June 2026, with the venue at Pleshey Village Hall, Pleshey, Chelmsford, Essex CM3 1HA. The advertised distance is 5 miles and the field typically runs with around 300 other participants.
The course is chip timed and comprises two laps on quiet country lanes around the village of Pleshey. The race is organised and marshalled by runners and is conducted under UK Athletics Rules. Individual and team prizes are listed as part of the event.
Entry fees are shown as £16.00 to £18.00 with an early bird price deadline of 31 May 2026; prices increase after that date. Recent years have reached capacity and there will be no entries on the day; a waiting list operates once the race is sold out. The event is open to entrants aged 15 and over on 26 June 2026.
A post race BBQ is offered to participants: runners may exchange their race number for a free burger or a vegetarian option, and additional refreshments will be available to purchase. Free car parking is available on the village field behind the village hall; attendees are asked not to park in the roads in Pleshey or obstruct the church and to consider car sharing because parking is limited.
