The 5K route starts at the north end of the waterfront and circles the wet dock two and a half times before finishing on Orwell Quay. Up to 1,200 runners are expected to take part and many more visitors will be cheering along the packed route. While the event has traditionally been held in August, this year it will take place in May, offering a number of races and activities over what promises to be a great day. ABP are sponsoring the Business Challenge and all of the bottled water for the event. There are a number of runs planned throughout the day including a family run culminating with the Twilight cup at 7pm. ABP Divisional Port Manager – East Coast, Paul Ager, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring this running challenge as part of the Ipswich Twilight Race and we hope it will inspire many local businesses to join in. At ABP we are committed to supporting the communities surrounding our ports and this is a great way to enjoy the Ipswich waterfront, while raising money for charity.”
