Military 5k & 10k Series - THE NORTH

  • Saturday 20 March 2010
  • MOD land approximately 30 minutes north of Manchester City Centre.
  • Start time 10:00hrs

After the success of our first Military Series in the North in October 2009, we are heading back again in March 2010. The land is MOD land and has everything we could possibly need. To add to what is already offered as part of this MOD property, we will also install some of our own obstacles to add to the excitement.

The course will be tough, challenging and loads of fun. Trees, hills, mud, water, obstacles and excitement are all guaranteed!

You don't have to be a BMF member to take part, and if you feel the 10k might be a bit of a reach, you can sign up for the 5k run instead.

The Venue

The entire route is designed on MOD land. On event day, you will have access to portable toilets, changing and storage facilities. The venue is located approximately 30 minutes north of Manchester City Centre.

Getting to the Venue

The exact location of the venue will be emailed out to those taking part approximately 2 weeks prior to the event.

We recommend driving or car sharing to the event. If you are in search of other participants in the same area to you that may like to car share, please click here to visit out BMF facebook page for the event. (You must be already logged in to your facebook account for this link to work).

Safety

As with all BMF events, your safety is our number one concern. Experienced marshals and BMF instructors are on hand throughout the course to manage tricky sections of the route. Those signing up for this event must accept that there is an element of risk involved in such activities.

  • 10k - £20
  • 5k - £20

The Prizes

Timberland, who are currently in partnership with BMF, will be donating prizes for the winners in both our 10k female and 10k male categories. Winners in the female 5k and male 5 will each receive a limited free month of BMF membership. All participants will recieve a goodie bag including a medal for taking part in the event.

Entry

Please note that all entries are NON TRANSFERABLE and NON REFUNDABLE. Please click here to go through to our online registration system and pay your entry. If you are entering for friends or family, you will need to complete the entry process multiple times as we must register each individual's details for the event.

You will not recieve anything via the post. Your race number and timing chip will be collected on the day during the registration process.  

Volunteers / Marshalls needed

If you are injured, or not up for the challenge this time around but would still love to be involved, we are always on the hunt for extra event day helpers. From assisting with registration, to helping marshal the course and sending runners in the right direction, to helping with time keeping and the water drink station, any additional hands are greatly appreciated.

Those that assist on our March 2010 event are entitled to a free run in our October 2010 event as a thanks for your efforts.

If you are interested in assisting, please click here to email our event team your contact details.
