Gatwick 5k Race | Run Gatwick

Introducing the annual British Airways Run Gatwick 5k race. This is the perfect distance for new runners that want a challenge, but not the full 13.1 miles of the half marathon, or for experienced runners that prefer a shorter, faster race. The Gatwick 5k race is a fully closed, single-lap route that starts in pretty Southgate Park and works its way through Crawley’s lively town centre. Click here to see the route.

The British Airways Run Gatwick 5k won the gold award for ‘The Best Regional 5k (South East)’ and the silver award for ‘The Best 5k National’ at The 2019 National Running Awards.
