Norwich Road Runners are offering a limited number of places to local elite runners for their Wroxham 5K Series.

The club adopted the same approach for the Ringland Half Marathon last month as they seek to support the region's top runners.

The first race in the series, which is targeted by many runners looking to post a fast 5K time, takes place on Wednesday, May 15. The two other races take place on June 12 and July 3.

Any applicants must email contact@norwichroadrunners.com by 6pm on the Sunday before each race in the series (May 12, June 11 and June 30).

Successful applicants will be notified by the Tuesday before the race. There is no need to enter online as entry will be arranged on the evening of the race.
