Under SAL/UKA Rules

Start Time: 11.00 am

Age Restrictions: Runners must be 13 or older on the day of the race.

The Event Organiser is Frank McLaren

The Giffordtown 5k road race is held on a flat and fast out-and-back course on quiet country roads. There will be a Temporary Traffic Restriction Order (TTRO) in place that should ensure a traffic free environment. The Giffordtown 5k has an AUKCM course certificate ensuring that the distance is accurately measured.

If you have entered the 8/10/2023 version of this race that had to be re-scheduled due to bad weather and have asked Fife AC to hold over your entry please do not enter again. If you have not used the 2023 entry for the 2024 Cupar 5 in April we will be in touch with you.

A map of the course can be found here and a video of route running here. Past winners and course records can found here.

Registration is at the Giffordtown Village Hall from 10 AM. The start/finish area is approximately 150m from the hall. Please note that there are no showering facilities at the hall. Athletes should come ready to run to prevent changing in the hall.

Parking: At the Giffordtown Hall behind the hall. Limited parking on the roads next to the hall.

Prize giving: This year there will be a prize giving ceremony and a Fife AC tea after the race.

There will be prizes for the 1^st 3 Men and Women and the 1^st athlete in the Men and Women U20, Senior and Masters athletes in 10 year age groups. All finishers are eligible in the overall category and their own age group. However only 1 prize per finisher will be awarded with the overall category taking precedence.

A bonus prize of £50 will be awarded to the 1^st male that beats the men's course record of 14.59 held by Logan Rees of Fife AC and to the 1^st female that beats the women's course record of 16.45 held by Morag MacLarty of Central AC.

Entry Transfer Policy: All entries are non-refundable. However, if the race is full and up to 11/10/2024 we are pleased to offer a free transfer service as long as there is no evidence of selling the entry on at an increased fee. With permission of the Entry Organiser you can transfer your place to a friend/relative/teammate etc, but you must handle any reimbursement of funds directly with that person. The Entry Organiser will swap the entry details.
