Organized by Run For All—continuing Jane Tomlinson’s legacy—the RAM 5 Mile is a popular, accessible race inviting participants aged 15 and over to explore Derby city centre, with aid of top-notch event logistics. Starting at Silk Mill Park, runners follow the opening route of the Ramathon through town for the first two miles, then navigate toward Pride Park Stadium, before looping back to finish where they began, all in a lively and charitable atmosphere. Enhancing the experience are features such as chip timing, finisher’s medal, goody bag, and optional technical finisher T‑shirt. On-course amenities include water stations, pacers, medical support, and a vibrant Event Village offering food, drinks, and opportunities to engage with charity partners. In addition, the RAM 5 Mile contributes to the event weekend buzz, giving runners the chance to fundraise for local and national charities while enjoying a professionally organized race-day experience.
