Springfield Striders Friday Night 5

25/06/2026

Just in case you missed this post from our fantastic team at Pleshey Village Hall I’ve reposted it again here.

Morning from Pleshey Russ from the Pleshey Village Hall.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Burgers 🍔
As well as the customary burger at the finish we have bean burgers for those who have selected the veggie option.

Drinks 🍺
There will be a selection of cold soft drinks available along with a limited number of Beers and Ciders.

Ice Pops 🧊
We’ve also purchased ice pops for all the runners which you’ll get as soon as you cross the line.

Sprinkler 💦
We’ll also have a sprinkler system set up so you can cool off with some running water.

Cool area 😎
The sun will be low in the sky at race time and temperatures dropping but you can get out the heat in the village hall where it’ll be kept dark and as cool as we’ll have a number of fans.

Have a great race, it’ll be one that’s talked about.

Race Day instructions have now been emailed to all runners for Friday night, but here is a copy just in case.

Because of the weather forecast we shall be providing more water at the water station and the finish area. Plus we will get the hose out to cool you off.

There will also be additional gazebo's for shade. If your club also wishes to bring along any gazebo's we can accommodate these too.

The hot 🥵 topic of the week is how hot will it be on Friday evening?

We will still be going ahead with the race as planned but we recommend that everyone including runners, spectators and marshals to all take sensible steps in these conditions, such as:

To dress appropriately for the weather
To drink to thirst
To keep in the shade where possible
To ask for medical help if they feel unwell.
To not take part if they have been unwell recently.
Adjust your race pace accordingly, do not expect to be able to run at your usual pace.

We have a water station that you will pass on both laps plus water at the finish but please also bring along your own pre and post race hydration.

Who doesn’t love country roads. The FN5 route is two laps starting and finishing at the Pleshey Village Hall. You will run through the village and out into the surrounding countryside on quite country roads.
