The Malcolm Christie 5,000m is a handicapped track race in Elgin organised by Elgin Amateur Athletics Club. Open to runners aged U17 and above, the 5,000m event uses staggered starts based on recent race times, giving athletes of different speeds the opportunity to compete against each other.
Runners submit a recent 5,000m or 5K time when entering, which is used to calculate their handicap for the race. The track format provides a focused test of pacing, speed and endurance over 5,000m, with the handicap system adding an extra competitive element as runners chase the overall win.
Held as part of Elgin AAC's club championships, the Malcolm Christie 5,000m welcomes runners looking for a competitive track event in Moray. Entry is free, with participants encouraged to make a donation towards the cost of staging the race and supporting the club.
