Hi all,
Looking for volunteers for this years handicap series, please get in touch with Fiona Graham if you like to help out in one way or another.
The Courier donated a big Cup for the overall winner last year, which will be the main on going prize, (which is a fantastic cup and prize.) We however are looking for a couple more sponsers to donate a smaller cup prize for a male and a female catogory, chosen by all the parents. ( any idea's welcomed or sponsers welcome).
The main thing for opening this years handicap topic early, is so people can spread the word around to anyone thinking on entering, that has never ran it before, and wants to enter, they can now start to train for it if they think they do not reach the standard that will be needed at the moment.
That standard is,
1 : Must be the minimum of 7 years
2 : Must be able to run a 2.5km in 20min
With training before had it is an target anyone can reach. This is the criteria and we will not accept anyone below this age and anyone entering and saying that they can run this distance and they are found they cannot, then without asking will not be allowed to enter the next race. (We will however see if there is potential in that person to get within the time for the next race).
We like the child to able to do it and not the parent who thinks they can do it.
This event is fun and really boost your childs confidence on completeing the 6 races over various terrains.
Anyway the gate is open to train for it, so go for it. Please pass the word round.
Full details will be put up here shortly, but in the mean time, you can read last years thread.
Thanks
