Beer 'n chips

At the Girton 5K we are fully committed to the wellbeing of our competitors. We know that running can take a lot out of you.

Rehydration after a hard race is especially important, so to encourage prompt replacement of fluid all finishers will receive a token for a half pint of City of Cambridge Boathouse Bitter or Hobson's Choice at the Pavilion. For those with severe fluid loss, additional beer will be available at just £2 per pint.

A good nutritional regime, with plenty of vitamins and an appropriate balance of fats, carbohydrates and protein is also vital for a rapid recovery. We've arranged for the A10 fish and chip van to be present in the Pavilion car park after the race. We believe there is nothing better than a poke of chips to restore your body to racing condition.

You might like to complete your recovery in the nearby George Inn, who will be hosting a beer festival.
