Tonight’s Winter 5k (30.11.23) – Final details

30 November 2023 - By Jodee Mayer

Hi all

Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone that has offered to help marshal tonight and to Karen and Sasha for being our RD team.

If the marshals could come to the meeting point on Pasture Road (keep walking till you see Karen and Sasha, but near the car park on the left as usual (www ///passively.dwell.panels)) to check in by about 7.20 and then head to their marshal points (as below) that would be very helpful.

NB Marshals  – we do not have the hi-viz jackets for tonight; please bring your own reflective item and torch! Sorry!!

If you can no longer marshal tonight please let Karen and/or Sasha know as soon as possible (I am in Hull at a hearing so will be of no use!).

We will start the 5k as close to 7.30 as possible. If any runners would like to do some warm up drills before the time trial starts, we will do these at 7.20 in the same place as above and then head to the start (further down Pasture Road from Tesco near WWW object.aside.mush) just before 7.30.

I have not been able to do a recce, but expected the works are still going on at Freebournes and that, as per usual, some of the street lights are out; runners please ensure you have a hi viz and/or a reflective top and, if possible, a head torch or body torch for safety.
