Northants 5K Race Series - Race 4

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.

Sywell 5K Race - 12th September 2021

Hi all,
Please find attached the Race Briefing for the 4th Race of the Northants 5K Race Series on Sunday at Sywell Country Park. Please note: There is limited parking at Sywell Country Park, so please do car-share if possible. We will be parking some runners on the grass - please do not park here if you intend to shoot off as soon as you have finished - as we won't be able to move cars on the grass until the race is almost finished / or it is safe to do so as it is close to finish line. Please note: Car parking charges apply whether parked in carpark or on grassed field (and enforcement have given out tickets at our events, so please do buy a ticket).

We aim to have a steady trickle of people over the start mats, so all should be started within 10 minutes of the start time, so please just spread yourself out either side of the start area. A member of staff will help with this. INDIVIDUAL RACE PEOPLE - you will be given a NEW number for each race. If you use an old number your results won't show up in the results. 

Any questions please do contact me via joanna.danvers@northamptonshiresport.org See you on Sunday. Apologies if you have already received this.

Thank you to those that let me know that there was an error in the last Race Briefing. Please now find attached the correct version - with Sywell Course details, rather than Brixworth!

UPDATE - Northants 5K Race Series 2021

sent by Northamptonshire Sport on 29/01/2021 at 16:48

Hi all,

Hope you are all keeping well during these difficult times? We are still hoping to run the 2021 Northants 5K Race Series and currently as 2020 participants you are booked on and your place is secure. I am happy to confirm the dates/venues for the races:


  • Race 1 - Delapre Abbey - Wednesday 28th April*
  • Race 2 - Salcey Forest - Wednesday 19th May
  • Race 3 - Boughton House - Sunday 20th June
  • Race 4 - Brixworth Country Park - Wednesday 14th July 
  • Race 5 - Sywell Country Park - Sunday 12th September


I tried to keep similar dates/venues to the 2020 dates, but i did have to swap around Race 4 and 5. In 2020 this would have been the Brixworth race, it is now the Sywell race. Please let me know if you would like me to move you to the Brixworth race which is now on the 14th July.


We are currently putting together our Covid-19 procedures. These may include starting in waves so I will be back in touch with you all to get an estimated 5K time. Start times may be slightly different from previous years - but will aim to get all in a 20 minute window of the usual times. (7.30pm Wednesday races, 10.30am Sunday races)


If you want to keep your place on the 2021 Northants 5K Race Series you do not need to do anything. I will contact you again to double check T shirt size (Whole Race Series) and 5K time estimate.


If you are now unable to make the dates we are offering another refund window. This refund window will be open from Monday 1st February and will close on Friday 12th February 2021. If you would like a refund, just email me: Joanna.danvers@northamptonshiresport.org with your full name and the race entered (or Whole Race Series) and I will sort the refund for you. 


If you have already received a refund but are still appearing on this mailing list, apologies - please do ignore this message. The contacts and race entrants doesn't seem to be syncing currently.


Many thanks

Jo
