Wakefield Hospice 5K 2027

The Wakefield Hospice 5K is a flat, single-lap road race held in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, on a Sunday morning in March. It covers 5 km, begins at 09:00, and is suitable for wheelchairs. The field is limited to 225 participants. The route is a shortened out-and-back 5K that shares the start and finish line with the hospice's 10K event. Race HQ facilities are located in Thornes Park. Wakefield Hospice organizes the race to raise funds for patient care. The event is open to runners aged 11 and over, including first-timers, club runners, families, and those running in memory of someone. Prizes are awarded to the top three men and women, and all finishers receive a commemorative Wakefield Hospice T-shirt.
