Any club members who are 17+ on the day of the race can take part (no guests are permitted).  It is suitable for all standards, from elite to novices.  Everyone plays their part – even if you aren’t a scorer, you may steal points from other club members by finishing in front of them.  Club kit must be worn, along with the club’s designated letter ‘T’ (we supply that)

Other Information

Where possible car share as car parking at these venues can be tight at times. Arrive by 9:30am at the latest to ensure you have registered to run (our registration official may be running so will not be able to register you after this time. 

The cost of the event is subsidised by the club such that it will be the same as a club training session.  Payment can be made with a training card or via credit card (no cash please).

Races are generally around 7km across mixed, off-road terrain (you may get muddy).  Hot drinks & cakes will be supplied at the finish by the host club

Please ensure you where a "T" on the front of your T shirt; use ones from previous seasons if you have one, otherwise the registration official will have a few available.
