Update 13 August
Organiser Tim Hughes did a grand job expertly arranging the 51 who had signed up into
17 closely matched teams to produce a close finish at the end of the three legs, with only 19 seconds separating the first two teams.
One dropout on the night threatened to spoil it for one team but Tom McNamara bravely stepped in to save the day and run in two teams.
Results are posted on the August Results page.
Wednesday 12 August at 6.30pm
A relay race for teams of 3 people of different standards, eg a level 1, a level 3 and a level 4 runner can make up a team.
This event is open to members and guests.
You have to let the teams organiser know in advance if you want to take part. The teams organiser will compile the teams using your estimated 5k time so please be realistic. If you have said you will take part then find you can’t let the teams organiser know so that the teams can be adjusted.
Don’t just turn up on the night and expect to take part – you’re likely to be disappointed.
The teams organiser will create the teams from the list of names. Teams themselves decide the order in which their runners run.
Park at the Jag Club in Browns Lane and warm up by jogging to the start/finish which is opposite the green triangle at the junction of Hawkes Mill Lane and Browns Lane. The distance per leg is approx. 3.2 miles.
Be at the start by 6.30pm.
Don’t park your car at the White Lion as the car park is reserved for pub customers.
There are prizes for the winners and runners-up.
Full details are on the GBU page.
