To celebrate the formation of Halesowen A&CC on Boxing Day 1922, we will once again be holding a club handicap race.
Starting at 11.00 am, the race will consist of competitors going off at intervals, with the slowest runners first and the quickest last.
If the handicaps are correct, all runners will finish at the same time!
HANDICAP RACE
Here’s the rules and instructions for the day:
* The race distance is approximately three miles and will be three laps around the club grounds.
* You are requested to arrive by 10:30 for the distribution of race numbers and handicap times.
* Entry is via a wrapped present costing around £5.
* Athletes start times will be based on current 5k times.
* If we think you are fiddling your 5k time in order to get an early start, we will politely ignore it and put it our own estimated time!
* All sections of the club are welcome along with family and friends.
* The event is run at your own risk. Trail shoes are recommended due to the grassy and muddy nature of the course.
JUNIOR RACE
A junior one lap (non-handicap) race of just under a mile, open to all athletes aged 13 years and under, will also be held starting at 10:30 am.
The entry fee will be the same as the adult race, a wrapped present costing around £5.
The race is open to all young athletes, including Saturday Clubbers!
ONE MILE WALK / RUN
For those who do not wish to take part in the race, Barry Griffiths will be leading a 1 mile run/walk on the club track.
The mile will start at 10:30, preceded by warm-up exercises at 10:15.
For any enquiries about the event, please contact Andy Nock on 07721 862276.
