Hi all – please find information about next week’s club runs below.
Update on the Trent 5:
The Beeston AC 5 mile race (NottheTrent 5!) will be held in Wollaton Park on Wednesday June 23rd starting at 7pm. Race limit 500 runners, pre-entry only. £8 affiliated, £10 unattached. Entries are via runbritain.
We will be looking for help in organising the event particularly someone to co-ordinate the 20 or so marshals that are needed to get the runners around the course – if you can help with this please don’t hesitate to contact Mark Rowlson or Simon Elliott – plenty of support will be given to you.
We hope that Beeston AC can put on a great race in stunning Wollaton Park and truly get back to racing – and the pub afterwards! |
