The Kestrel 5 is a community focused 5 mile trail and mixed terrain race organised by Rimrose Runners in Rimrose Valley Country Park, Waterloo, Liverpool. The event uses paths through woodland, open parkland and along canal routes, combining traffic free sections with narrower trail surfaces.

Entry is offered at a set price of £20. The event emphasises local running and the green space of the valley, with post race atmosphere noted for club presence and social interaction rather than large crowds or an elite focus. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
