THE HIDDEN PEAK UNPLUGGED 5K  - DON'T MISS THIS ONE !

Join us for our exciting and fun 'UNPLUGGED 5K' at Aberdeen Beach Prom on Tuesday 9th April.

This is a 5k run with a difference. 

Firstly, you will be asked to run without a watch,phone or any other timing device!! So, you will be totally unplugged from technology - you'll have to judge your pace by feel, with no digital assistance!
Let's see how good you are at doing this!

Secondly, it will be held on a handicap basis - so everyone has an equal chance of being first home. Let's explain how this works: you will be asked to submit a predicted time for completing the course. If your predicted time is, for example, 27 minutes, you will start 2mins ahead of any runner who has a predicted time of 25 minutes. You would also start 5 minutes ahead of any runner with a predicted time of 22 minutes. Technically, everyone should finish together.

YOU MUST SUBMIT A PREDICTED TIME WHEN SIGNING UP.

If you do want to record your performance, you can wear a watch, but you must put tape over the watch face so you can't see it during the run. We will try to record everyone's times in any case.

There are no prizes but it will be interesting to see who gets closest to his/her predicted time without the benefit of a watch.

We will use the beach promenade 5k parkrun route. Link below:

It'll be a fun evening, but it will challenge you to be the best you can be.

This session is geared for ALL RUNNERS, regardless of pace. 

We are a friendly group and always keen to help newcomers - so come along  - and bring a friend.

Coaching, encouragement and good advice will be on hand throughout.

Please arrive ready to start at 6pm. The whole session,including warm-ups/cool down and exercises, lasts one hour.

TUESDAY 9th April 6pm to 7pm

Location: Meet at the Aberdeen parkrun start at the north end of the beach promenade, just a few hundred metres east of the Bridge of Don. Plenty free parking.
