John Roberts Summer 5K Handicap Race 19th July

18 July 2018 - By Bill smythe

This Thursday is the final race in the 5k series and will be the handicap race. For those of you not in the know, competitors will be set off at intervals based on previous performance with a view that they all cross the finish line at roughly same time. This levels the playing field in terms of ability and rewards those who make the most significant improvements on the day. There are usually PBs galore on the handicap race, so if you are aiming to beat that momentous milestone, Thursday may be your day! Awards for the 5k series and the handicap race result will be presented on the day, after the race.

You need to have raced in at least one of the 3 previous 5k races this summer at Kelvedon to qualify for this handicap race.

Therefore, competing runners only: Please sign on from 7pm at the Angel PH. Registration will close at 7.30pm. If you already have a number, please make sure you still sign in otherwise we don’t know you are there and you won’t receive a start time! First competing runner will set off at 7:45(ish). If you have not raced at least 1 of the previous 3 races this summer, please do not register or obtain a number as this will cause issues with the scoring algorithm. You may still run without a number but please speak to Bill or Carina first so we can give you a start time and make marshals aware.

If you can marshal, please let me know.

If you are staying for food, please order before the race as per usual.

Bill & Carina
