Get ready to put on your warm clothes and hi viz and get your cheering lungs turned up.

We are helping to marshal the Victory 5 mile road race.

Exact timings and jobs will be posted here once confirmed but may include:

  • registration (inside, handing out numbers and chips - not the potato ones)
  • marshal duties (outside, pointing runners in the correct direction)

Now in its 78th year, the Victory 5 is one of the top 5 mile races in the race calendar and offers a flat, fast and virtually traffic-free course. The race records of 22.43 (male) & 25.35 (female) are amongst the leading all-time performances. Can you imagine being able to run that fast?! No doubt, we will see some great performances from local athletes this year too.


How are you getting there?
