CHRISTMAS FUN RUN 2014

Christmas 2013 starter's on their marks!

On Sunday 14th December the Calderglen Harriers will be holding their annual Senior and Junior Christmas Fun Run so time to get thinking of a costume!  Previous years the costumes have been Santas, the Hulk, a Ghostbuster, Christmas fairy and even Nuns!

 

To remind folk and new members of this Harrier tradition.  Last year we introduced a a new format for the Junior section and did a Team Relay race which was a big hit.  We had record entry of 28 Juniors taking part which I am sure will be smashed this year.  How does it work?

Each team will cover 3 laps and I will mix the teams up.  The first team back will all get a medal. However all is not lost everyone will get a treat at the end and we have our our Secret Santa dip.  If everyone brings a small value prize up (max £5), those that bring a present then get to choose one in the lucky dip at the end.  Please wrap the present and make the present unisex - suit a boy or girl.

Race Details

Junior Harriers (Relay Team)

Starts at 10am, Run 3 laps per team (0.8 miles / 1.3k per lap), which is 2.4 miles or 3.8k

Senior Harriers (Individual race):

Starts at 11am, Run 5 laps (0.8 miles / 1.3k per lap), which is 4 miles or 6.4k

Hopefully some of the older more able junior runners will consider doing the 5 laps and challenge the "old" seniors.  Last year we had Marc McQuade & Emma Lawton giving it a go.  Marc finished second in 28:14 and Emma finished 6th in 27:06, 3rd fastest time of the event!

 

So please let me know if you can do the Junior or Senior run  ASAP and by Wednesday 10th December at the very latest. Alot of organising is required before hand to make this work!

As from previous years the race will be in cold conditions. So if you fancy joining us in this festive running event please come along in fancy dress (optional).
