The MCTF Run The Track series is organised by MCTF and brings together accurately measured 5K and 10K races at athletics tracks across the UK. Designed for runners of every ability, the series focuses on creating the ideal environment for personal bests, first track races and enjoyable competitive running.
Held on purpose built athletics tracks, every race takes place on a flat, traffic free course where every lap is precisely measured. Runners are grouped into heats based on expected finishing times, creating evenly matched fields and allowing participants to run alongside others of a similar pace. Split lap chip timing records every lap as well as the overall finish time, providing detailed pacing information throughout the race.
Professional chip timing, bespoke finisher medals and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere help create an outstanding race day experience. Combining accurate measurement, limited field sizes and fast running conditions, the MCTF Run The Track series offers an excellent opportunity to achieve a personal best over 5K or 10K.
