Notts County Champs Fell Race: The Notts fell championships race will be Wolf’s Pit fell race on Sunday, 19th March. Details of rules and race day information will be available on the https://www.nottsaaa.org/ website soon and will be similar to last year.
Message from Network Rail: A representative from Network Rail has been in touch and asked us to call attention to the number of near miss incidents in the local area with runners nearly being hit by trains around Attenborough (while appreciating it may not be any of our members who have been involved on these occasions) and also mention that it is an offence to loiter on a train line, for example to take photos. A couple of leaflets and video clip are attached for information.
London Marathon: Due to an administrative error the club has not been awarded any London Marathon places for 2023. The organisers have now confirmed this, so the winners of the draw at the 2022 AGM will be put forward uncontested for the 2024 race.
