Moor Pool 5k Summer Challenge

Step into history, one stride at a time, with the Moor Pool 5k Summer Challenge!

Do you fancy getting active while enjoying the Arts & Crafts splendour of Moor Pool this summer? Complete a 5k anywhere around Moor Pool over the six week summer holiday period (Saturday 19th July to Sunday 31st August) to help us raise £5,000 and you’ll be rewarded with a unique Moor Pool medal to be presented at the Moor Pool Heritage Festival on Sunday 14th September.

We are very grateful to Hadleigh Estate Agents for sponsoring this year’s medals.

Who can take part?

The Moor Pool 5k Summer Challenge is open to everyone of all ages! You can run, walk or complete the challenge in a wheelchair anywhere on the Moor Pool Estate, in one go or spread the distance out over the six weeks.

Why not join with friends to complete the challenge as a group? You could challenge each other to run faster or make it fun by dressing up!

How do I register?

Register at www.evententry.com between 2nd June and 4th August.

Registration fees are £10 for an individual or £25 for a family (up to 2 adults and 3 children).
Your registration fee includes a unique Moor Pool medal for all participants. You will also receive a virtual race number and online results, as well as special recognition awards!

How does it work?
