The Thrive 5
We're back for our 3rd year and returning to the favoured route from the 1st.
Starting and finishing at Thrive Gym Selsey, this is an out and back flat and fast 5 mile run. The route is mainly along Selsey seafront promenade with some great views across the sea. You may even catch sight of the local celebrity seal who often basks on the beaches!
The run will pass the RNLI Lifeboat station with the halfway turning point right at the top of Selsey peninsula.
This is a predominantly traffic free event, but there is a limited amount of running on the road with a few road crossings. The course will be well sign posted with marshals at key places.
If you want to run along some amazing coastline, love a fun, vibrant uplifting running event atmosphere, then this is a run for your 2024 race calendar.
Prices remain the same as last year, look forward to seeing you on the start line.
