Lesnes Abbey 5 is a trail race organised by Plumstead Runners that takes place in Lesnes Abbey Woods, London (New Road, SE2 0AX). The event uses a mass start and follows off-road trails after a short gravel section at the beginning. The course is described as hilly and includes natural hazards such as slippery mud, steps, slopes, tree roots and woodland debris; runners are responsible for their own welfare on the course and trail running shoes are recommended.
Event facilities include a Plumstead Runners Marquee near the Chestnuts Kiosk (Key 10 on the event map) which serves as event HQ and the location for bag drop. Public toilets are available by the kiosk. There are no changing or showering facilities. Chestnuts Kiosk serves hot drinks and snacks. Water will not be provided before, during or after the race, so competitors should plan accordingly.
Timing is manual and finishing times will be published on the Plumstead Runners website within 24 hours. There is a 90-minute cut-off enforced by a tail runner. Race mementoes are awarded to the first three male and first three female finishers only. Entry requires participants to be aged 20 or over on the day.
