Supernova Kelpies

Grab your glowsticks for the Kelpies 5K! 

Take a beautiful and iconic venue, wait until dusk, dig out the fluorescent clothing and grab everything and anything that glows or flashes. Then set off on a Supernova 5K!

The Supernova Kelpies event is the perfect way to get involved in a timed 5K with your family and friends, whilst taking in the fantastic atmosphere and having lots of fun! Starting and finishing within Helix Park, this beautiful route allows runners the rare opportunity to run alongside the iconic Kelpie sculptures, which are lit up and change colour at dusk to create a beautiful spectacle for participants and spectators alike!
