Pace Makers
There will be hopefully 20+ races scheduled for the meeting involving over 300 athletes. Every person wants to run a PB. If you can help pace ANY of the races – or can accommodate an extra athlete in your car that can help it would be appreciated by everyone. All pacers do get paid.
Any athletes that are able to help pace any of the races should contact Steve Mosley by E-mail. Due to the number of races any help would be appreciated.
Start Lists
The start lists for the meeting will be available on the Wednesday / Thursday night before the meeting
Please note that athletes are expected to report to the Marksman 5 minutes before the start of their race. As the first few races are U11’s and U13’s, who may not be used to competing, parents are requested to ensure the runners arrive in good time and do not just turn up on the start line.
