Specsavers 5K
Introduction
The Specsavers 5K was introduced in 2011 to encourage those who have never run before to be part of Run Garioch. The shorter distance is an ideal first event for those new to running as well as a great confidence builder for a future 10K.
The route has been improved for 2012 following feedback from last year's participants. At the 3K marker, runners will now make their way down North Street as far as Westfield Gardens and then return to the Sports Centre via Old Chapel Road.
The Start
The Specsavers 5K starts at 11:00 on Sunday 18th March 2012
- 9:00-10:45 Registration (or pick up your pack at the Garioch Sports Centre from the Thursday before)
- 10:45 Line up
- 10:50 Warm up
- 11:00 Race start
Please ensure you arrive in good time to deposit your baggage and prepare for the start. The start is operated by time bands - the fastest to the front, and the slowest to the back. Placards with expected finishing times will be clearly displayed. For example, if you expect to run the race in 35 minutes then look for the placard that says "35 mins" and line up behind it..
