Boxing Day Handicap

Postby Neil Gunn » Tue Dec 16, 2014 12:39 pm

The annual Boxing Day Handicap is on again this year.

Providing that the weather is not too icy the course will be the usual hilly 4 mile route starting close to the St Dunstan Inn in Langley. In the event of icy conditions we will opt for a short off-road route through Macclesfield forest, so bring some off road shoes just in case.

Registration: St Dunstan Inn, Langley at 10:00am. Registration CLOSES at 10.25am.

Start: 10:30am for runners estimated to finish after 30mins, 10:40am for those estimating to finish sub 30 mins.

Entry is FREE to club members. We will be having a collection for East Cheshire Hospice on the day and we do expect non-members to make a donation.

Prizes will be awarded at the St Dunstan Inn afterwards and this year we are asking you to bring your leftovers (mince pies, cake etc) from Christmas Day to help us put on our own food for everyone coming along. So please bring some nibbles!

We will be using the self-handicapping format as last year:

You estimate your run time for the course.

The winner is the person who finishes closest to their own estimated time.

You are NOT allowed to take any watch/timing device on the race – it’s not supposed to be easy!

To give you some hints the average time for the course last year was 26 to 35 minutes. We will also record the finish positions to cater for those who want to race the course.

If you can help by taking a few pictures (new camera for Christmas anybody?), then please get in touch with Daisy Pickles ( daisypickles@hotmail.co.uk or 07742 775102) or Neil Gunn ( neil.gunn@gmail.com or 07786 855027) who will be able to give you all the information you need.

See you there...
Run for your life!

Hi Neil

Do you have a link to a course map? I've not done this before so I'm not sure what the 'usual route' is!

Looking forward to it!

Cheers
