Course Map
Guests may run in the league at a cost of £5 for the whole season. This is a one off charge. They must register on the day, and let us know if they competed last season (and if they did we can check the pack).
Guests must be members of a EA or SA, or similar affiliated club.
Second Claim runners may not count for team points. They can either run for their first claim club as a guest, or if they come and register on the day they can take part as a non-counting runner in their second claim vest.
Guests & Second claim runners do not accumulate team points, but do get individual grand prix points.
Race HQ will be at the NEHL Tent next at the start area.
Reminder to ALL competitors. We do not split race packs. Your team manager needs to collect and pay for your team entries. I have a list of who owes what, we will not take individual numbers out of the packs, we are far too busy. Find out who your team manager is and make sure they have a cheque or cash with them to cover the club’s entry fees.
Costs are £50 + £3 per runner for clubs
£5 for guests
If by some unknown reason you manage to lose your number on the day you’ve collected it from your team tent, you can buy a new one for £5. I know it sounds daft, but it has happened before.
RACE HQ OPENING TIMES: 1100 to 1300
On the day entries
I’ll be taking limited entries on the day from clubs – DO NOT expect to rock up with 20 juniors and have them all sorted. Race HQ will be extremely busy.
Remember I need Name, Club, Date of Birth, and Sex (if it’s not obvious).
If you have this pre-written on a bit of paper that would be great.
No DoB – No entry
Guests – register on the day as per normal
