CHRISTMAS FUN RUN REMINDER

Just a reminder our annual festive event is now less than a week away on Sunday 16th December @ EKSC Clubhouse.

I have all the names of the junior athletes taking part in the relay race, t-shirts and the selection boxes are in.  If anyone has changed there mind and is available to do it let me know ASAP as it's a nightmare organising teams! Likewise if you can't make let me know. My email is richard.lawton3@btinternet.com and deadline is Friday 14th December or via facebook

The clubhouse opens at 9.30am and the junior event starts at 10am and senior event starts at 11am.  Remember to wear something festive for the run wither it is a full costume, a hat or a bit of tinsel.  If you want a present bring a present costing max £5 and wrapped.

If any of the under 13s and above want to take part in the senior event which is 5 continuous laps covering a distance of 6.4k or 4 miles then let me know and your best 5k time this year so you can be suitably timed handicap i.e. slowest runners go first right up to the fastest last. So far Lewis Moir is the only junior athlete doing both events.

 

My email is richard.lawton3@btinternet.com and deadline is Friday 14th December or via facebook.

There will be mince pies and tea/coffee post race in the Sports Club bar...so bring all the family for a morning of festive frolics and fun.
