EXCITING RUNNING EVENT IN THE PARK!
Run as far as you can in 8 hours (on your own or in a relay team)!
Welton Church Runners are expanding their free monthly 5k Run in the Park to include an ultra-event.
The May The Fourth Ultra Loop will be an inclusive and flexible 8-hour running event with no limit on how far you can run. Within the 8 hours, you will be encouraged to run as many loops as you can.
The mixed-terrain course combines Greenways and trails around a 5km loop and no matter how many loops you run, you receive a finishing time and certificate, with a fun prize for the winners in each category (Solo, Pair & Team). The event takes place at Midsomer Norton Town Park. You will be able to experience the Town Park, the ‘Batch’ (old mining spoil heap) and the beautiful Five Arches Greenway.
The Somer Centre will be available during the day for refreshments, toilets and a rest should you need it. Open to solo entrants, pairs and teams of four. Entry fee £20 per person. Chip timing included with a time for every loop! Any profits from this event will go towards the creation of better paths in the Midsomer Norton Town Park! The Free Community 5k will take place as normal and everyone will start at the same time.
Why not get a team together and enter now! See the Midsomer Norton Town Park 5k Facebook page to enter or visit:
