11am U11/U13 – minimum age 9, up to and including school year 8 c. 1.5km round playing fields
11.15ish main start combined
• U15/U17 – school years 9-12 c. 5k – to be run with the adults but directed back over the bridge partway through the race by the marshals
• Seniors/V40+ – 8km/5m
The course will be similar to previous years most likely with a lap on the playing fields and then two laps over the bridge on the nature reserve side followed by a quick return to finish back near the clubhouse. After a dry summer things are now softening up.
Entry is £3 per adult and £1 per child. The good news is we fixed the roof after last year. The bad news is that the general state of the rear of the Club house is such that we are increasingly restricted in using it. Our clubhouse project is starting to take shape – please be kind at the refreshments stall. There will be a bucket, we can accept £3 payments via stripe (buy.stripe.com/6oE3eO1p70ES99u5kp) or your team can pay for everyone together.
Please ask your Team Managers to complete the attached entrants list so we can plan for numbers there are sheets for Juniors (U15/U17) and Seniors. We have kept seniors simple with U20s combined in and everyone over 40 classed as a vet.
Please return the Junior and Adult sheets by Thursday 4th December (you can bring the u11/u13 on the day).
Teams of 4 will be scored with Women’s and Men’s competitions (youth categories will depend a bit on numbers but likely 3 to score for most). We hope to announce the team results on the day but bear with us to avoid issues. We will share full results later. Please can Eton Manor make a note to bring the mens trophy having won last year (LAC women won).
