Questions about 5k races in Europe
Which 5k races are coming up in Europe?
Savills Sandymount Night Run 5K — October 2026 is listed for 20 October 2026. Dunkertons 5K Night Trail is listed for 21 October 2026. Power of 5K is listed for 23 October 2026 (status to be confirmed). Check the race guide and organiser’s latest information before making plans.
Where can I find race entry details for Europe?
Follow the link from the race guide to the organiser or entry provider, where one is available. Check the entry deadline, eligibility and current availability there. A listed race date does not necessarily mean entries are still open.
Why has a race moved out of the upcoming calendar?
Once its listed dates have passed, a race moves to the past-editions view unless another upcoming edition is recorded. Cancelled events also leave the upcoming list. The race guide stays available, and the event returns when a new date is added.
