Summer Timed Handicap Race Series

A great fun member event with a touch of competitiveness where anyone could be the winner and win prizes! Races are over the same demanding course with runners setting off at staggered times depending on running ability; the slowest first and the fastest last with the aim that everyone finishes at roughly the same time. You will need to run 4 of the 6 races to complete the series and place in the overall series results. For those taking part and paying for the whole series, or volunteering in 4 or more races, there will be a commemorative gift.

Thursday 25 April • Thursday 23 May • Thursday 30 May • Thursday 27 June • Thursday 11 July • Thursday 25 July

Under year 7 junior race, 6pm in Victoria Park, £5 per person for the series
Year 7 and above junior and senior races, registration 6.30pm, first runner 7pm, £5 per person for the series
