The next race of our DRR club championships and number 2 of the EMGP 2026 series is fast approaching with the Blisworth 5-mile on Friday 15th May 2026, with the race starting at 7.00pm.
I would advise getting there in plenty of time to allow you to register and collect your number and warm up (runners who attended Silverstone 10k will not need to register as they will already have their number, so they can just go to the start point), it would be nice for all members to meet up before and after the race to have a group photo for our social media, Once you have finished it would be nice if members could cheer on and support all the rest of the members still competing, if you have a DRR T-Shirt or Vest please wear this.
If you would like to attend but have not yet entered please visit Runbritain website, entries close at 11:59pm on Wednesday 13 May 2026, Entry Fee: £10/£12 EA Affiliated/Unattached
If anyone would like to come but is struggling with transportation to get to Blisworth please let Tracy, John or myself know and we will see if there are any members who could give you a lift.
