Northants 5K Race Series - Race 5
Northants 5K Race Series
The Northants 5K Race Series is now in its 9th year and has become a regular fixture in the county's annual running calendar. With hundreds of runners taking part last year, including club runners, jogging groups and those who are completely new to running, the 5k Race Series offers something for everyone. Please note: As the Northants 5K Race Series is licensed by UK Athletics all entrants must be 11 years of age or older.
The 2021 Series will include 5 trail races. All 5 races are multi-terrain courses taking in some of Northamptonshire's beautiful parklands and woodlands. All finishers will receive one of our bespoke 5K Race medals – a different one to collect at each race.
Course Info:
The route starts outside the beautiful Delapre Abbey taking in some of the grounds and around Delapre Park Lake. We would like to thank Northampton Borough Council and Delapre Abbey Preservation Trust for allowing us to use this a venue for the series. Multi terrain course within Delapre Abbey and Delapre Park trails. A great mix of varied terrain and a bonus as this is one of our flatter courses.

Northants 5K Race 1 UPDATE - March 2021
Hello,
I have a quick update about Race 1 of the Northants 5K Race Series - unfortunately we have lost our venue for Race 1 - Delapre are not accepting bookings until the 1st June. So we have made the decision to postpone the first race. As far as we are aware all the other races will go ahead as planned. You are booked on to Race 1 Delapre 28th April - which will no longer go ahead. You have a few options:
- Transfer your place for this race onto one of the other races - Salcey Forest will now be our first race. This is on Wednesday 19th May. The other dates are listed below
- Run the Delapre Race virtually and have the Delapre medal sent to your home address - you can do this anytime from when the route map goes on our website to November 2021
- Keep your place at Delapre and run in person at Delapre - we are looking to move to either the last Sunday in September or first Sunday of October - This will be the new Race 5. Date to be confirmed ASAP
- Have a refund for the Delapre Race ticket
If you could let me know which option you would prefer by emailing me on: [email protected]
Many thanks
Jo
