SAFARI RUN SERIES

We are delighted that the inaugural series as a whole has raised £1,748. An incredible £1,364 was raised from the races at Prime Four, which was greatly helped by Drum Property's sponsorship of the event medals and trophies. 83 people flew round the fast and flat 3k road course at the Prime Four Business Park in Kingswells with Sean Chalmers recording his second win of the series and Chloe Gray scooping the trophy for 1st female.įull race results are available here. The final race of the series in December 2021 was the Prime Four 3k (with a 1k race for kids) kindly sponsored by Drum Property. Half of the £262 funds raised on the day made their way to local charity Friends of Hazlehead who do great work to maintain and improve the park. We had 55 people take part on the day, with Sean Chalmers and Aimee Tawse finishing 1st male and 1st female respectively. Next up in the 2021 series was the Hazlehead 5k which followed the same course as the Hazlehead Parkrun. Anyone aged 11 and under or who is unable to race on the day can do so virtually and submit their time upon completion of their run to can enter the Hazlehead 5k and our other Safari Series races here. Please note that the races takes place on Sunday 18th September, the day after Hazlehead Parkrun.
