With the nights drawing in, and the lesser championships and series winding up, its time to start thinking about the most important event of the year: the club championships. Nobody but our august organiser knows the course – I’m told that he’s not even giving hints to his wife, the Women’s Captain. Details will emerge in good time. Hopefully the course will follow the usual times and lengths, to have a winning time of something like 1:20 to 1:30 and be 13+ km long. It will be a traditional chasing start.<\/p>\n
Please send your entry requests to handicap@dpfr.org.uk, with the traditional instances of poor performances and feeble excuses. Plus, any dirt you wish to dish on your nearest rivals.<\/p>\n
I’ve no doubt that there will be a hostelry specified for soup, rehydration and a debrief afterward.<\/p>\n
Ian Fitz has asked that I also appeal for assistance with personing the checkpoints, the start and finish, etc. If you are not running please do consider helping out\u2026or volunteering your nearest and dearest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
