Race Report: Queens Park Quacker 5k (Race 2 of 3) – 27/07/12

Friday evening, just back from holiday & pre-Olympic opening ceremony I decided I’d run the 2nd in the Queens Park Quacker Series.  These are a series of 3 x 5k races organised by our friends at South Cheshire Harriers around Queens Park in Crewe & held on the last Friday of June/July/August.

The run involves a lap of the park before heading out along the ‘new’ cycle path connecting Crewe to Nantwich.  A quick turn-around at the end then back into the park for a shorter lap & the finish.
Definitely a PB potential course compared to Hanley Park Run or Lyme 5k.

Videos of the start & finish are available at http://www.racephotos.org.uk/ & more race details at http://www.southcheshireharriers.org.uk/clubraces/5k_series/5k_main.php

I’ll be running the last in the series on 31st August @ 19:00 so hope to see some of you there!
