SUFFOLK ROAD RELAYS – 22nd MARCH
Entries are now open and we are excited to start putting teams together! We had 9 teams take part last year and it would be fantastic if we could get that again – or more! It’s a great day out and not as scary as it sounds – no baton to worry about fumbling as it’s chip timed!
If you are interested in taking part in this event please fill out the form by following the below link.
The relays are held at the Northern Gateway Sports Park, on the outskirts of Colchester (just off the A12, opposite the Colchester United football ground). The races are run on a purpose-built cycle track (1 mile long), which has a lovely smooth tarmac surface and is mostly flat apart from a small man-made mound at one end. It’s very spectator friendly and you can cheer your club mates almost the whole way around, which makes for a great atmosphere!
Teams consist of 3 runners (4 for senior men) each running a 3 mile leg and there are separate races for the different age groups.
It would be great if we could have mens and ladies teams covering a few age groups. Teams are split into Open, V40, V50 and V60. Mixed ages can be in a team but means the team would be in the age category of the youngest runner.
ENTRY FEES WILL BE COVERED BY THE CLUB.
