The Night of the Five will offer a program of 5000m races, for runners of every speed to test themselves on the track. Whether you're a recreational runner, track athlete or are usually found on road, trails or park, this is a great opportunity to lace up your racing shoes and test yourself for an official time. We will also be offering a 1000m and 3000m run for juniors or anyone who would like to try a shorter distance on the track.

Entrants will be seeded into heats according to their submitted time, so you can challenge and be challenged by competitors of a similar pace. The night will also offer an elite race for the top ranked athletes and will be one to watch as we see just how fast these athletes can fly around the track.

Spectators are welcome and encouraged, with trackside seating so you can be up close to the action!

Please note participants must be 14 years or over to compete in the 5000m races. Participants must be 7 years by the 31 December 2021 to compete in the 1000m, and 11 years by the 31 December 2021 to compete in the 3000m.
