Preston Fast 5K July

The Preston Fast 5K July is a Wednesday evening 5K held at the UCLan Sports Arena Cycle Track in Preston, Lancashire. It is one of four open senior races organized by Preston Harriers, with the series taking place from April to July. The race starts at 7:00pm, fitting into a straightforward midweek slot rather than a full race-day event. The format is intentionally simple: no extras, no complications, and no prizes. The focus is on a fast 5K along a traffic-free cycle track route without sharp turns, making it a practical option for runners aiming for a quick time. The start postcode is PR2 1SG, and participants can also choose to link their participation with fundraising via GoFundMe.
