For those eligible for t-shirts (4 races completed) or hoodies (6 races completed) there will be a website posted soon on which you can place your order. It can then be either collected at the do (free of charge) or sent directly to you from the manufacturer (p&p at your own expense). (The Home International in North Wales on the 24^th September will be considered as a Championship race for the purposes of t-shirt/hoodie eligibility only)


If people could let me know by 25^th September (Viking Chase) whether they intend to come along that would help greatly in organising food & resources for the day.


The plan is for this will be an enjoyable & stimulating day, so we not only recognise the achievements of our best athletes from the series and have a good crack, but also provide the opportunity for everyone coming along to learn something and enhance their running.

Many thanks
