After extensive refurbishment, including both a new track surface and new lighting, the UCLAN Sports Arena running track is once again open for use.
It is a common myth that you must be a sprinter to benefit from running on a track, however track training sessions can help runners of all ability achieve their running goals. It is also a safe place to train, especially as the nights draw in.
As a celebration of the reopening, Preston Harriers are hosting a special Guess Your Time 5km event on Wednesday 18th October 2023 at UCLan Sports Arena. Starting at 7.00pm, the run entry fee will be £5 which is payable by cash on the night.
The event is open to all Preston Harriers members, aged over 16 years. Although there will be an option to enter on the night, prior entry is preferred so please enter your details here: https://forms.gle/wQwpd6sWwAuKTGYW8. Numbers will be distributed on the night itself.
In the past Preston Harriers have held GYT5Km runs, but as this is the first for over five years it promises to be a special evening.
If you don't wish to take part in the running but would like to volunteer and connect with others, please email philippaw61@gmail.com or send a message via the webiste. There are roles for registration, timing and the marshalling the finish area. All efforts would be appreciated.
