5.30 Nottingham 2025 event

Friday 18th July 2025

Nottingham City Centre: Collin Street, Nottingham, United Kingdom

Running, Distance running


Description

After the successful return of 5.30 to Nottingham in 2024, we're bringing it back for another year, with more entries available due to unprecedented demand!

In the early morning of Friday 18th July, hundreds of participants will take to the streets of Nottingham whilst the city is still asleep. The unique 5km course will start from Collin Street, pass through the pretty Lace Market Quarter, before travelling alongside Canal Street and Castle Boulevard, to return to the city via the Canal Tow Path. 

At the end of the event, participants will enjoy a healthy breakfast with local seasonal fruits.

Entries are limited due to the unique route so hurry and snap one up before they sell out!

 A BIT OF HISTORY

5.30 was created by designer Sergio Bezzanti and nutritionist Sabrina Severi in Modena, Italy in 2009. The idea was to promote a healthy lifestyle through regular physical activity and eating well.  

The 5.3k walk/run happens at 5.30 in the morning of a business day in the city centre. Run 5.30 is an event that encourages positive emotions and aims at improving the quality of life of its participants by:

- Increasing their awareness of the benefits of exercising and eating healthy foods

- Showing that an earlier start of the day allows to fit in exercise without impacting the working day

- Allowing to experience the city in a brand new (early morning) light

- Making exercise fun and interactive with a really positive group of people encouraging each other

 BUT... WHY AT 5.30 IN THE MORNING? 

  • to promote daily physical activity
  • because the day is always so busy
  • to discover the city in a unique light
  • because a little movement helps the start of the day
  • because there is no traffic
  • because it does not steal family time
  • because the course is short and accessible to all
  • because it won't affect your weekend plans
  • because you get to eat delicious fresh fruit
  • because it takes very little to be happy!

 WHAT DO I RECEIVE WITH THE ENTRY?

  • exclusive Run 5.30 tour t-shirt 100% cotton
  • fresh seasonal fruits refreshment + water
  • Run 5.30 medal
  • free download of the event pictures
  • free download of the post-event magazine
  • ... and the opportunity to live an experience to remember!

 CHARITY PARTNER

5.30 Nottingham will donate £1 for each entry to Maggies Centre in Nottingham.
