Hopefully someone will bring the club gazebo, if a few of you could come at 09:00 to help set up we would be very grateful (and you’d also get a good parking space and a shorter queue for the toilets). Please post a reply on Facebook if you can assist.
Please arrive at Stockeld Park 09:30 at the very very latest, you’ll need to park, walk to the course, find the club tent, pin on your race number etc etc and be ready for the club warm-up at 9:50
It is a short walk from the car park to the course at the “Box Field” which is the location of the start and finish. En route is the Cafe which has the Toilets (maybe a queue) and race registration (but you’ll only need that if you’ve lost your race number and need a replacement (£2.50)). Close by is the maze which may be open (don’t get lost).
If you’ve not yet run any races then Collect your race numbers from the Valley Striders gazebo which will be in the club tents area near the finish.
Team photo and club warm up at 09:50
U11 race be at start line at 09:55
And keep your numbers after the race otherwise you’ll be paying £2.50 if you want to run the relays
