Running For Predicted Time 5k and 1m Races

24/06/2022

I’m pleased to confirm that we will be holding a Predicted 5k Blind race on Sunday 25th Sept In Ninesprings County Park, Yeovil. The course will follow most of the winter Montacute Parkrun course.

Runners will go off in 10-30sec intervals, depending on entry numbers. With the first ones starting at 9am.

Runners will need to predict there finish time and run without a watch.

This means once again, anyone can win the race! As the winners will be the M and F who run closest to their predicted time!

Tonight should have been race night!

Sadly currently no race licences are being issued, however we believe that races held in the way our races are, waves rather than mass starts. We stand a good chance of hold something once they start to be issued! Venue and format might change slightly, but still under the idea of a predicted time race and more likely back to just a Mile.

Watch this space, keep running and stay safe.

In the current climate I’m sorry to confirm the obvious!
Today Run Britain cancelled our race licence.

Therefore we have no choice but to cancel this race on its currently scheduled date in June!

As and when life gets back to normal we will look at the possibilities of rescheduling it.

Take care, stay safe, keep exercising!

sorry to see that Glasto has been cancelled. But if things are a little bit more settled in July, it may mean a few more of you will be about to run our races! So lets stay focused with our summer training and stay mentally and physically strong.

We have a date!

Sunday 28th June, once again it will be in Ninesprings.

However this year we are please to bring you a blind 5k as well as 1m.

Also both races will be held like time trials.
Runners will go off every 15sec. Slower runners first with faster runners later.

We will again ask runners to predict there time and wear no watch. And prizes for those who run closest to there predicted.
We hope these ideas make our race a 5k and 1m with a difference!

Watch this space for more info.
