Three Shires Junior Races Off

The Junior races at the Three Shires have been cancelled.

The weather means that they are having to use a car park 1.5 miles away from the registration area, and they feel that is too far for the young juniors.

But surely there nothing against you running round the route....you could maybe set off 15 minutes before everyone else and see the speed that the leaders pass you....or set off a little time after the start and see how many people you can pick off.
Just remember to shout to the marshalls that you arent in the race.

You could even carry me a drink or a pork pie or two.;)

You could be out for hours sweeping tom...and if the weather is shite it wouldnt be much fun and you'd get very cold.

Or......you could run it backwards.....miss out parts and skip to others....the possibities are endless.

Re: Three Shires Junior Races

Are you going to give it a try and ask Selywn if you can run tom?
Mention any similar runs your done to prove you've got the "appropriate navigation and mountaincraft skills" and its worth a shot.

Re: Three Shires Junior Races

Just be careful Tom - I would advise you set off 30 minutes in advance and just do a recce and take a bit of food and drink around for anyone that wants it.
