Handicap Race – SATURDAY 30 JANUARY

Don’t miss the first BARNES RUNNERS Handicap Race of 2010

SATURDAY 30 JANUARY …. meeting at the Barnes Elms Race track.

Registration from 8.20am,  closes 8.45am, race starts 9.00am

For running track location, click here.

The race is just under 7k (4.2miles) consisting of two laps of Barn Elms with start and finish at the running track at Barn Elms.  If you have never run the handicap before, or have only run it once in your lifetime, or you haven’t run for more than a year, then you will be a “scratch” runner on Saturday.  This means that you are running to establish your legitimate start time using an estimate of your handicap that we have calculated using a time-tested formula. Scratch runners run the same course and are in the same race, they just don’t win prizes or score points.

(You need to complete two scratch runs before we can determine your pace, after which you’ll be competing on the same level as other competitors, winning points, fame, glory…… and possibly a cup of lush coffee in KARAVAN, opposite L’Amandine.

If you are not a scratch runner, please fly the club colours and wear your BR shirt.

See you Saturday!

The pinnacle of the of the Barnes Runners social calendar, the Christmas party, is fast approaching! To be sure you enter this into your quickly filling diaries, here are the details:

* Time: 19:30 – 23:30

* Place: The Red Lion, 2 Castelnau, Barnes SW13 9RU

* Cost: £15 to you (in addition the club will subside a drink for early comers!)

* Included: Buffet, raffle, charitable contribution (tbc by the new committee), fine company and a fun evening!

* Welcome: Bring partners / friends if you like!

(There is also an ill-founded rumour that some members may end up in The Idle Hour afterwards)

This is sure to be a fantastic evening, and it is a great opportunity to have a fun time and meet fellow members outside of the running arena. So, whether you are currently training for a marathon, or haven’t dusted down the running shoes since the summer, come along and enjoy a great evening!

Confirm to myself by Friday 4th December, to pay by 11th December

Look forward to seeing you there, if not before,
