The Kirste 5 Memorial Race 2025

As a team,we have decided that this has been the last Kirste 5 race (20th July 2025)
 
We feel the ever-increasing packed race calendar has put extreme pressures not only on entrants spending their money, but also for gathering volunteers. Everyone is now spread so thin and the event entry income has now become an financial concern for the event.
 
However, we are extremely proud of the legacy the Kirste 5 has become over the last 12 years, and we will be confirming shortly that this year’s race will once again be able to donate to our two charities. The final total raised for our two charities over the last 12 years will be £ 60,000.
