Stoop race

[Tussockface]

Doing it for the first time, me lads doing U8 Race. Did his first race at the shepherds skyline race and lost both his trainers in a bog. Does anyone know if its permisssable for parents to run round with the juniors?

Can't see anyone objecting unless you kick the opposition over a precipice, or attempt to claim you're the winner.

It's not uncommon on U/8 races for parents to encourage their littl'uns round and be there for general safety, tear wiping, bruise kissing, etc.
It might be best to check with Dave W. at registration though. I'd think he'd be sympathetic, the only possible problem I could imagine would be the narrowness of the path in some places, and you'd have to be careful not to baulk any tiddlers trying to get past.

Do you want to go round to cheer your lad on, or find out what the *&%$ he's doing with his trainers? It takes some doing to lose both on a race - respect.
