The way I felt the day after last years AAA's I wouldn't be threatening the prizes!

RR - I can confirm im the only african entered :)...in other words you can have some good monies if you want it?! plus you get to spend the day in the charming lancashire town of blackburn!

Looks to be coming along nicely now - but I would like a few more Elite Women please:p
For the race of course!

So any Lady Sub 20m 5K runners out there, PM me and I will sort you out.

Guys it's Sub 16m or equvalent for the elite race and I already have a couple of handy forumites in there!

And don't forget the Open 5K race for all us mere mortals, and the junior races.

I think he spells it Andi.;)

I'm handy, what do you need doing.

Races are looking really good now. The quality and depth of the Elite Men's and Ladies races has come on over the last few days.
The event seems to have caught on.

And Open race entries are also excellent.

If anyone still wants to enter any of the races, Elite 5K, Open 5K or Juniors, you can still enter on line through John Schofield or PM me for more info.

Around 50 elite athletes now split 30 men / 20 women if they all turn up!

Expecting a quick one.

Worth coming watching if you are not running.

Full supporting cast of Junior Races and Open 5K Race.

U12 race - approx 100, U14 & U16 races - we have room for more if anyone wants to come along on the day.

Elite race - if anyone still wants an entry - pm me you should be sub 16 male and sub 19:30 lady.

Open 5K - we are over 100 now and can take some entries on the day.
