Last Friday 5k - Entry Information
How to enter
Because of Royal Parks rules we cannot take cash (or cheques) on the day for this event. There are two ways to enter.
First, you can send a standard entry form to Malcolm French, 35 Merton Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA2 0AA with a cheque, payee, Serpentine RC, amount £2 for club runners, and £4 for unattached runners, or a valid token (see below) plus a stamped addressed envelope and he will post your race number to you (or you can collect your number on the day if that is easier for you).
Alternatively, you can buy tokens for the race in advance, which you can hand over at registration or they can be used for a postal entry. These are available by post from Malcolm French, 35 Merton Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA2 0AA. Cheques should be payable to "Serpentine RC" – please include a stamped addressed envelope. The cost is £2 for club runners, and £4 for unattached runners. The tokens are everlasting and can be used at any time. The best idea for regular runners is to buy a batch. Please note that this race is extremely popular and we cannot guarantee entry on the day, even if you have a voucher.
Race cancellation
In the event that the race has to be cancelled, we regret that entry fees will not be refunded. The entry fee does little more than cover the costs associated with staging the race. The bulk of these costs will have to be paid whether the race goes ahead or not. The principle costs are the Race Licence from the Royal Parks Agency, the Licence Fee that has to be paid to the England Athletics in respect of every entrant whether they run or not, and the cost of the race numbers.
