While it might be too late to get one of the fancy race t-shirts, €20 will have you registered and running this Thursday evening. The fast and relatively flat course often gives road-running enthusiasts the chance to hit a PB on a 5k distance.

Collection points for race numbers and t-shirts will also be available on Thursday evening from 5.30pm on The Parade with the 5k underway from 7.30pm.
