Peco XC – first race 24

Race
numbers You MUST be in
possession of your series race number BEFORE attempting to register. Please
ensure that you have collected your race number from your club representative
before joining the registration queue. Registration is likely to be very busy,
so please arrive early!
So I’m
going to set up the Valley Striders flag and banner fairly near to
registration. And hung on to the banner will be 2 plastic bags, one with
blue numbers for men, the other with red numbers for women. The numbers
will be in alphabetical order of surname – please keep them in sequence!
Registration: The race HQ will be set up in The Lady Hertford
Suite in the Stable Courtyard area, at Home Farm. Registration will be from
9.15am – 9.45am for juniors, 9.30 – 10.45am for seniors. There will also be
toilets available at the registration area. Cost is £3 and this includes
food afterwards at the same location, please be advised to bring a change of
footwear for wearing indoors, as muddy trainers will not be allowed inside.
Car Parking: There are several car parks available for our use
in the grounds of Temple Newsam. We are advising runners to use the free car
park near Home Farm (car park 4 on the car park map). This is accessed by
taking the left hand fork after entering the main gates to the park.
Other car parks are available if this becomes full, but take note that
the car park nearest the house (car park 3) is pay and display.
The Course: Due to a few muddy sections, we would advise
runners to wear trail shoes. Maps on the website

Parkruns on 9 November
Sarah Ord
emailed - At Templenewsam Tally and Jordan Diamond both completed their 10th
parkrun today. Tally once again completed with a PB in 26:04. (PB in every
Temple Newsam run so far knocking a massive 8 minute off overall from her first
parkrun).
Bob says
it was also Sarah’s 10th parkrun but she’ll need to run 40 more to
get a T-shirt
At
Orpington, Louise Cazan was 1st W in 23:33 and a new PB too.
