“We have been asked to marshal at the Northern XC Champs. at Pontefract Racecourse on Saturday 24th January 2015. The role involves setting up a section of the course and marshaling a crossing point, as we did 2 years ago. We have to be on site for 8am and finish about 4pm. Packed meals are provided.
I would be grateful if you are able to support this event from our Club, as we know how important marshals are for races to be successful.”

Cleethorpes 10k – 1 January 2015
It was a windy morning with approximately 430 athletes from across the region descending on Cleethorpes. Nice race, you don’t see much of the sea as the race goes inland but its a PB course if its not windy (unless your called Rose and you run a PB regardless)!
