🏆 Quayside 5 Series – Combined Final Standings 2025/2026 🏆
How the Standings Are Calculated
The Quayside 5 Series league table ranks runners based on their average finishing time across two or more events:
- Autumn 5 (new for 26/27)
- Halloween 5
- Riverside 5
- Community 5
To be included in the standings, a runner must have participated in at least two races. Their final position is determined by their average time across the two or more events, with the fastest average time ranking highest.

The 2025/26 Quayside 5 Series has come to an exciting close, with runners taking on the Halloween 5, Riverside 5 and Community 5 in a season full of competition, personal bests and fantastic community spirit. A huge congratulations to everyone who took part — whether you completed one race or all three, every runner played a part in making this series another success.

And that next chapter is getting bigger. The 2026/27 Quayside 5 Series expands to four races, with the brand-new Autumn 5 Mile joining the calendar as the opening event of the series. Taking place alongside the Autumn Half Marathon on Sunday 13th September, it marks the start of another season of racing, competition and community.
