The Preston Fast 5K in June takes place on a Wednesday evening at the UCLan Sports Arena Cycle Track in Preston, Lancashire, beginning at 7:00pm. This is one event in a four-race senior series organized by Preston Harriers from April to July, featuring a deliberately simple format: no frills, no fuss, and no prizes.
The course utilizes a traffic-free cycle track at the sports arena, allowing runners to avoid road traffic and sharp turns. This straightforward setup is intentional, offering club runners and other senior participants a clear opportunity for a fast 5K time. The start is located under the PR2 1SG postcode, with an optional GoFundMe fundraising link available for those wishing to connect the run to a charity.
