The JM Finn Friday 5 Series
The Friday 5 is a popular series of 5-mile races and accompanying junior races held on Friday evenings between May and July across Suffolk and Essex.
The races are always family-friendly and are a great way to spend a summer’s evening.
Prizes are awarded to individuals and teams at each race and the series (based on a points system).
