The Ali Brownlee 5K returns to the Riverside next month

This 5K event celebrates the 'Voice of the Boro' in memory of a much-loved radio broadcaster who is remembered for his passionate commentary of the club.

Ali sadly passed away in 2016, at the age of 56, and tributes were paid at the Riverside and around Teesside.

The last Ali Brownlee 5K was held in Middlesbrough in 2019 but subsequent events were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 5km run on the evening of 2 September kicks off the events organised by Run For All which also include the Middlesbrough 10K and Middlesbrough Fun Run on 4 September.

The Ali Brownlee 5K is open to everyone aged over 11 and starts and finishes at the Riverside.
