About the race
The Nottingham Running Festival takes place at Nottingham Racecourse within Colwick Country Park and supports Nottinghamshire Hospice. The event offers multiple race distances that use a 5 km loop on flat tarmac paths inside the racecourse and gravel paths through Colwick Park. The course starts and finishes in front of the racecourse grandstand, includes a lap of the infield, and returns to the grandstand to cross the finish line. The half marathon route records an elevation gain of about 20 m.
The half marathon and junior race use a separate start line from the 5K and 10K. Included with entry are a themed finishers medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a secure bag drop. Water is provided at roughly every 5 km on applicable routes; the 5K does not pass a water station. Toilets are located in the racecourse grandstand and are accessible from the course.
Race packs are posted to entrants by early November or can be collected at registration on the day. Event facilities include an event village with food and drink, clear on-course marshals, and accessible arrangements for buggy runners and wheelchair athletes. Dogs are not permitted in the event village or on course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
