It’s the Dam Flask Relays on 24 June 2014 (a Tuesday evening) and it will be well attended by a lot of other running clubs in the area. It is held at the same venue as tonight’s Low Bradfield 5 mile race, but in the relay each runner completes just one lap of the reservoir (approx 3.6 miles). The route is generally flat on one side with a long hill and swift descent the other.
Teams made up of either 3 ladies or 4 men. Steel City Striders will pay for all teams being entered. Club vests are mandatory.
We would like to get as many teams running as possible and it is open to all abilities. We aim to have one or two fast teams to compete and then mixed ability teams to compete within Steel City Striders.
How to enter
Please email Tony Horstead – ahorstead@gmail.com – with your name a recent 5k, 5 mile or 10k time (your time from tonight’s race would be ideal if you ran).
Before you enter
First runner leaves at 7:15pm but please get there for 6:00pm onwards so we can make sure the teams are full and can get you all entered before the cut-off at 6:45pm (it’s entry on the night only). PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CAN MAKE IT BEFORE ENTERING – if one person from a team doesn’t turn up, the team cannot compete. (I had to run 2 legs last year, and I’m not a fast runner!)
Please see the proposed teams below.
(There will indeed be a Senior Male / Vet40 smack down as requested!)
