Until 2020, Jane Roche (Mike’s partner), her family and the Club have held an annual 10km race in Victoria Park each spring in memory of Mike Penman, who was suddenly taken from us in 2003. Due to an increasingly busy race calendar, the Roche family have agreed for the Open 5 miles to be held in Mike’s memory from 2022 onwards, with the proceeds from the event going to Shelter.
2023 race is the 57th Open 5 mile event.
Chip-timed, very fast, flat and traffic-free 5 mile course in Victoria Park, London.
2023 Open 5 miles will be a free-to-enter event with no chip timing, medals, prizes or mementos.
