Entry open for Butterfield & Vallis 5k

After the success of the Bermuda Marathon Weekend, the next event on the running calendar is the Butterfield & Vallis 5k on Sunday, February 2.

Last year was a record year for this event with over 700 participants. The race starts outside of the Reading Clinic and finishes at Butterfield & Vallis on Woodlands Road. 

Bermuda Timing will once again be doing the chip timing, while participants will have plenty of time to get home in time to watch the Broncos and the Seahawks.

The event kicks off at 9am with the Primary and Middle School boys and girls running the 2.7km route and at 9.30am the Senior School students and adults will cross the start line.

Walkers will start right behind the runners.

The BNAA have instituted a ban on strollers being used in the competitive part of this event. Non-competitive walkers are still allowed to use strollers.

This event is promoted and organized by Butterfield & Vallis and assisted on race day by the Bermuda Union of Teachers and sanctioned by the BNAA. 

Proceeds from this event will go towards sending young athletes to the CUT Biennial Student Athletic Championships. 

Entry forms are available at the SportSeller and at both Butterfield & Vallis locations or participants can enter online at www.racedayworld.com. Entry forms can also be downloaded on www.bv.bm

The main draw prizes are two pedal bikes from Winners’ Edge, while the first 800 participants will receive a t-shirt, goodie bag and a medal upon finishing.

Paper entries close on Wednesday, January 29 at 4:45pm, with online entries closing at 5pm on Friday, January 31.

Late registration and number pick-up is on Saturday, February 1 between 10am and 2pm at Butterfield & Vallis on Woodlands Road.

There is no late registration on race day.
