The Hastings Runners club only races are excellent and surprisingly different to parkrun as they create a unique atmosphere. Some of my best 5K times have come running in these races, knowing those around me and having more determination to get to the finish line before they do.

The race is free to enter if you are a member of Hastings Runners. They always send out an email and facebook post asking for runners to enter.

It’s the same route as Hastings parkrun so a very flat course, where the wind is often the main challenge. Given the time of year the weather can be temperamental. It’s a good opportunity to push hard and use this as a good efforts session.
