organisation will be goob and the course is ok but just keep an eye on the fella that does the results his eyes are a bit close together and cant spell but well worth doing.
SORRY for that last one Ive just herd he has just been to spec savers and has also bought a dictionary and if the race gets over 250 in I will donate £25 to rosemere.
Sure will and if possible try and get near 20mins as that course is my pb course 19.46. Plus steve ashcroft does the results to the few races that I organise and is a top fella so lets try and fill the race up and raise some cash for the rosemere trust.
I was one of the 4 people behnd the Best 5k and have never run it yet.
Done lots of running round on the day though.
Two thoughts for this year's race -
Preston Council Parks department to open the barrier on the park avenue at St Pauls Road (race distance 200m). We have asked both years and Steve Ashy has filled in all the paperwork but it never gets done. They open the one at the other end but not the one in the middle.
Go for it Rob. There were loads of people even walking bits last year. Very beginner friendly. I was last at loads of Lord Shoestring's races for a year & he always looks after slower runners. This is a cool little bargain race, with a nice medal last year & even free butties!
The fact slower runners are looked after makes me feel a bit more confident!
Have just emailed the organiser to see if i would still be able to enter at this late stage, and what i need to do, usually a bit more organised than this but was a spur of the moment decision!
This was one of my first races 2 years ago. I was 37 mins!! Just checked previous results. And there were plenty behind me too. So you won't be anywhere near last with 35 mins I'm sure.
No snow at all in Preston and none expected. We only get it once every 20 years and had snow last year. Dont worry it will be on. Pick your number up at reception in Tom Finney Stand.

Still plenty of spaces so entry on the day will not be a problem. Park on PNE car park and go to reception, fill in a form and you are in.

RIP Paul Best who this race is in memory of.

This may be of interest to anyone who could not get into Wesham on Saturday

don't know if this will be too late for anyone to see this.
will i be ok running this race as a beginner? ive done a couple of 10k's (times improving but still a beginner)
i'm just a bit worried that it wouldn't be beginner friendly with the small entry number!
done the liverpool 10k and Abbey dash its not that embarrasing when there's a few hundred people behind you!
thanks in advance.

If you look on UK Results Rob (& Shoestring's results I imagine) you can see the times from the last few years.
I hope it's not full......
It's not snowed, so we should be ok..... There was a HUGE puddle last year......It was a lake....
Great idea, Thanks!
ok, that makes me feel even better! was aiming for about 35 mins so shouldnt disgrace myself!
My first proper run was the Liverpool 10k so the rain shouldnt be a problem! (that was a little bit wet!)
thanks for your help.
Preston here i come!

Hi
I take it this was agood event as no one has complained!
YET!
Steve
Tempting fate a bit aren't you?
Maybe not of the 180 finishers post on here.
Nice little blast on a frosty Sunday.
Thanks to the organisers
Cheers
Will sort out cold for next year!!
Would people do same 5k course in the Summer?
I've done this one 3 times now. Always one of the most welcoming races for slower runners.
Really cheap, nice medal & butties at the end.
Tried for a PB, but my legs refused, as worked hard the day before at Wesham 10k, & still got a bad back from Conwy HM.
Legged it to Blackpool Pleasure Beach after for the last day of the season. It was FREEZING......
