The next club race takes place on Tuesday 7th May. As you know entry to this race is completely free for club members. Just send an email to me and I will enter you into the race. I would urge you to enter sooner rather than later as this will give us a clearer idea of the number of participants.
The race can only take place with the help of volunteers and so I am looking for any club members, family or friends who can help on the night with marshalling, water distribution, race entry admin, time recording etc etc. If you could help please email me.
