Join Emirates GBR and The Fleet for a 5K Run Ahead of SailGP Valencia

Emirates GBR is inviting supporters to join The Fleet for a special 5K run through Valencia as fans, sailors and team members come together ahead of an exciting new chapter on the SailGP calendar.

Taking place on Friday 4 September at 6:30pm, The Fleet 5K gives supporters the chance to meet fellow fans, connect with the team and build excitement before the Spain Sail Grand Prix on 5-6 September.

Starting at Banderas Gigantes de España y Valencia, participants will take on a beachside route along the beautiful Playa del Cabanyal waterfront before grabbing a cooling refreshment after.

Members of the Emirates GBR Team will be taking part, alongside Sir Ben Ainslie, creating a unique opportunity for supporters to spend time with the sailors and wider team before racing gets underway.

As SailGP arrives in Valencia for the first time, The Fleet 5K provides the perfect chance for British supporters to make their mark on the city and show their backing for Emirates GBR. With the championship battle approaching its crucial stages, every voice of support can make a difference as the team takes to the water.
