Beat The Sunset 5K Road Race 2026

Beat The Sunset 5K is a summer Sunday evening road race starting at 7:00pm from West Lodge Rural Centre in Desborough, Northamptonshire. It is a single-lap 5K on closed roads, with the name reflecting its straightforward aim: run hard through the countryside before the light fades. The course follows quiet Northamptonshire roads and is described by the organisers as very fast, suitable for runners aiming for a 5K PB or those seeking a local, social race. Club runners attend in good numbers, and unaffiliated runners are also part of the field. Go Beyond Events now organises this event, which was originally created by Desborough Races.
