The Gravesend Floodlit 5k & 10k Series - May 10k - September 10k
The Gravesend Floodlit Series is back!
Nice Work is pleased to announce the return to Gravesend Cyclopark in 2021 with our popular Floodlit series. Due to the postponement of the majority of the Winter Series we are excited to launch a new nine race series throughout the year!
The series is a unique opportunity to sharpen up your speed work throughout the year. This tarmac course is floodlit and its undulating nature will offer just enough of a challenge whilst still allowing for some fast times.
Cyclopark is totally self-contained and provides the ideal venue for a Covid-safe event. We have successfully developed a number of new procedures which are designed to ensure our races will be Covid-secure and ensure the safety of our runners, staff and the general public.
The first change you will notice is the start time. Rather than a single start time for all runners, we are operating a pre-booking system with start times available in 5-minute slots, beginning at 6.00pm through to 7.30pm. A maximum of twelve people will be able to begin the race in each slot – and each of those people will be allocated a place on the start line according to their anticipated finish time, with the fastest runner lining up on the front of the start line. The race will also have a restricted entry limit.
Covid restrictions are likely to be lifted as the series progresses through the year. We will keep runners posted in pre-race instructions
The race is suitable for both experienced and first-time runners. It’s great training for Spring marathon speedwork, as part of a schedule to complete your first 5K and/or 10K – or for those just looking for a timed and measured run on a weekday night.
