Please note these are PRE - ENTRY only (often well in advance) so athletes DO NOT assume your team manager will automatically either
(a) enter you if you don't contact them first or,
(b) pay large amounts of money up front on your behalf.
It is YOUR responsibility to say that you wish to run, make contact & pay your entry fee well in advance of the deadline. Again you have been warned! I will put up this information on the club noticeboard as well including course maps if they are made available.

Lets make this a good season by getting out as many athletes as possible. This is the responsibility of us all not just team managers.

If you need any further information please don't hesitate to contact me & I will do what I can to help.

Roll on the rain & mud!!
