And, for our junior racers...
... is a BRAND NEW family event in the form of a junior race offering!
This race will give our aspiring junior racers a chance to take part in their very own, dedicated event. The race will take place before the main race, on the trails and paths around Sherwood and will be fully marshalled. The race will not be chip timed but all our junior finishers will receive a medal and can look forward to being cheered across the finish line.
Parents are responsible for collecting their children at the finish line. If parents are accompanying their children on this race then no additional entry is required. However, participating parents will not receive a chip time or medal. We hope that you will join us in supporting our young runners with uproarious cheers!
