Silverdale Running Club invites you to test yourself over 5K in a stunning location whilst supporting a chosen charity. Try their “6 weeks of summer” event then reward yourself for your efforts at Silverdale Athletic Football Club.

Summer conjures up images of sunny days, light nights and a relaxing drink with friends. Add in a 5K run and you have the ingredients for an enjoyable event where you can track your fitness over a 6 week period and see how you compare to others. Whether you compete with yourself or against fellow runners, expect plenty of support from host club Silverdale RC and a chance to socialise afterwards in convivial surroundings.

The event will take place on Friday 30 June and Friday 11 August. It’s a self timed run on a fully marshalled 5K time trial course open between 5.30pm and 7.30pm. Warm up whilst admiring the views of the countryside - the woodland, meadows, hills and lakes on the site of a former colliery - before you start your watch.

It's a quick countdown then away you go for a speedy 5K. Everyone’s times will be collected in the clubhouse after they finish. Food and drink will be available to purchase. Good conversation is free!

There is the option to run one event for £3 or both for £5 and all proceeds go to a charity chosen by the winner. 

In the words of Silverdale RC’s Jemma Blount: “It’s a great occasion for clubs to come together and have a nice Friday evening social run or maybe challenge your rivals."

Both races will start from Silverdale Athletic Football Club on Scott Hay Road, Silverdale near Newcastle-under-Lyme.
