After another hugely successful year, the Kelpies Supernova 5K is back for 2017, bigger and better than ever before! Due to popular demand, there will be an additional third event added to the 2017 format, which will now include 5Ks on Friday 10th, Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th November.
Last year’s event saw thousands of runners light up the night at Helix Park in Falkirk, completing the 5K route in their best fluorescent kit and each with a Supernova head torch. As dusk fell, the magnificent 30 metre, 300 ton Kelpies came to life and provided a stunning backdrop for a 5K with a difference!
A fantastic atmosphere was generated by all runners and the fancy dress efforts were something to be admired. Tutus, glow sticks, leg warmers, LED glasses, and plenty of fluorescent gear was on show, and runners ranged from tiny toddlers to glowing grandparents, all adding to the event’s feel-good factor.
Early bird entries for the Kelpies event in 2017 are open now and will be available at a discounted rate until midnight on Sunday 12th February 2017. To enter and find out more, head to https://www.supernovarun.com/events/the-kelpies/.
Before the Kelpies event in November, the Supernova series heads south, with the London event taking place on Saturday 1st April 2017 at the iconic Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Entries are open now and are available at https://www.supernovarun.com/events/olympic-park/.
The series then heads to Bournemouth, taking place as part of the Bournemouth Marathon Festival, which takes place on 7th & 8th October 2017, more information is available at https://www.bournemouthmarathon.com/5k/.

After the launch of the UK wide ‘Supernova Run’ Series earlier this year, the debut event in Scotland at Helix Park and the Kelpies took place on Saturday night and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
Thousands of runners were kitted out in fancy dress and colourful clothing to embark on a nighttime 5km run around the iconic Scottish landmark. With it being a timed run, the event catered for all different ages and abilities with many groups of family and friends deciding to walk around the course taking in the unique setting.
Event Director Sandra Scott said: “The first Supernova Run held in Scotland at Helix Park and the Kelpies was a huge success. It was fantastic to bring such a unique event to an iconic Scottish landmark and watch over 2,000 runners have an enjoyable time with their family and friends, whilst completing a 5K!”
“The beauty of this event is that it can cater for all abilities – runners can decide their own speed, or if they just want to stroll around with their family, taking everything in as they do so.”
“Thanks to everyone involved, including the amazing Race Crew and volunteers, as without them it could not be possible.”
“Entries are already open for 2016 and due to the exceptional demand for this year’s event, we would recommend you secure your entry as early as possible.”
