There’s plenty to choose from and many are available to book, so why not get your calendar out and get your name down for some of these. Remember 8 races to qualify for a prize and to avoid any penalty point deductions take part in at least 5 of the above 7 categories.
The remainder of the year’s events will be published at a later date.
Happy Running!
