2026 Road Fixtures
Races take place between March and November, and Georgina has put together more opportunities than ever for participation in 2026. There are a variety of distances and locations, ranging from 5k park runs through to a half marathon. As always, to enter the competition, runners need to complete 5 or more races, but don’t let that put you off taking on one or two to run alongside – or just in front of – your fellow club members!
-
- Events that are starred ⭐ are ‘core events’ – these will include parkrun, virtual races, 5km, 10km and half marathon events.
- Bonus points can be scored for PB’s achieved in core events.
- Non-starred events are ‘choice events’.
- Your best 3 core ⭐ events and best 2 choice events will be used to determine the results for the road league.
