Golden Acre Junior Relay on Tuesday 16 July
This will take place in Golden Acre Park and is for teams of 3 runners, all of whom must be in school years 2 to 7 and each runner runs 1 mile.
Race admin and start & finish are near the Arthington Road car park at Golden Acre Park. The Junior Relay starts at 6:30pm and you will need to arrive at Golden Acre by 5:45pm.
Valley Striders club will pay for all teams.
The race is limited to 70 teams. As at 12 June, there were 49 spaces left.
I’m using the Juniors FB group to collect names and match them up to make teams.
At the time of writing this email I have names for 18 complete teams and 5 runners unmatched.
I intend to place all the entries on Wednesday 19 June. I’m anticipating we will have about 25 teams in total.
It is therefore important that, if you want to run, you put a message in the Facebook group post ASAP and at the latest by Tuesday 18 June.
