FIFE ATHLETIC CLUB FESTIVAL OF TRAIL RUNNING & SCOTTISH MID TRAIL CHAMPIONSHIPS

CLOSING DATE MON 31ST AUGUST

Another race!  On Saturday 5th September Fife Athletic Club are hosting their Festival of Trail Running which incorporates the Scottish Mid Trail Championships.

 

The event is held in the Falklands Estate,  Fife,  KY15 7AF.

 

Several good reasons for young Harriers to do this event.

 

Senior Harriers are doing the Senior/Masters event so good to show off to the world of Scottish Athletics how good and big are club is over junior & senior athletes

 

The age group races start as young as under 11 so it means anyone in my group can do the race.  It is hard to find races the allow this age group to compete.

 

The 3k distance event for under 11s & 13s and 5k distance event for under 15s & under 17s is a distance that Calderglen Harriers are capable of doing.  All your training is focused on improving your ability to run these distances, running on trail routes like in Calderglen Country Park and I am sure some of the young Harriers could get amongst the medal and prizes.  These are Scottish Championship prizes...big stakes!

 

To enter any of races you need to enter via the race entry site called Entry Central.  See link below and the closing date is Saturday 29th August.

Good luck
