Sinfin 5 is staged at Sinfin Moor Park in Derby, typically in May, commencing at 9:30 am. This is a licensed five-mile road race conducted under UKA rules, forming part of the Run Derby Series. Entry fees have been consistent across recent events, with a reduced price offered to UKA-affiliated participants.
The course is flat, primarily utilizing tarmac and compact surfaces. It circumnavigates Sinfin Moor Park, proceeds along Sinfin Moor Lane, transitions to a footpath leading to Infinity Park Way, and returns through the park to the finish. The race is capped at 350 participants, with a minimum age requirement of 15. A one-mile fun run for younger participants also takes place on the same day. All finishers are presented with a T-shirt and a custom medal, and prizes in the form of Derby Runner vouchers are given to the top male and female runners.
