Trackrun PB 5000m Series
Trackrun is a timed 5000m running event held on an athletics track at Collingwood Athletics Track in Clifton Hill, Melbourne. The event runs monthly as a summer series so runners can record and compare performances over the same distance and venue.
The series is open to any runner and is described as welcoming and inclusive. It is organised by volunteers and operates with unofficial results. Entries are accepted up until each heat begins and each round has an entry fee of $15 to cover track hire, event costs and insurance.
Runners collect a bib number token at the finish area and keep this token while they run. Participants choose a heat based on indicative seed times; heat seed times are communicated to entrants before the event and additional heats are added if required. Lap counting is primarily the runner’s responsibility; organisers will display laps for the lead runner and signal the final lap with a bell. On finishing, runners slide their bib token onto a race result stick in order so results can be recorded. Results are posted shortly after each heat on the event results page.
The series dates are scheduled monthly from November through March each summer at the Collingwood track. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
