Flapjack 5K 2027

The Flapjack 5K is a new, flat 5K at Torbay Velopark in Paignton, Devon, starting at 10:00 am. It is run on a measured course with England Athletics affiliation, professional RFID chip timing, and a route built for runners chasing a quick time rather than a hilly day out. The course starts with two laps of the Velopark, then goes out and back on smooth tarmac paths recently laid by Torbay Council, finishing on the same line used for the Donut Duathlon. Sportiva Events runs the race, Ben Tisdall is listed as organiser, and finishers get a medal plus the promised flapjack; category podiums get prizes, and the setup includes marshals, water, toilets, caterers, and trained medics on site.
