HELP!
Ian
tells me that folk
are
keen on the race going ahead with parking at
Hodge Close. We'll work on arranging that
with the quarry but we're going to need even
more help to make that happen. I reckon a
marshall on the main road from about 9am
directing folk down to the Hodge Close lane
end and another on that junction. Then
two parking folk up at the quarry. I'll flag
the route back to the Shires (about 2k)
beforehand. That will neccessitate starting
the race at 11.30.
At the moment I have
offers
of help from yourself, Jane Reedy, and John
B. We need in the region of 20 to make it
work! At the moment that leaves something of
a
shortfall!!
Step up to the plate now please folks.
Emails to me :- 'Any reasonable offer....'
Anyone with a large
frame
tent?....
For 24 years we've
never
had more than four or five volunteers a
fortnight before the race - as I've said
before though, this is where it starts
to feel a tad lonely and a even a little
bit scary being the organiser of a
'fairly' high profile long race.
Given that for the
last
couple of years hardly any juniors have
turned up, and that as it stands they would
be parking 2k away, I think we need to take
the decision now to abandon the Junior
Races, so please pass that on as a definite
decision to any juniors you know (or parents
of juniors).

IMPORTANT
NOTICE:
As of the end of August all of the parking
fields for the Three Shires Race are
completely waterlogged. If the race was due
to happen in the next week we'd have to
cancel!
We're hoping for some drying weather over
the next fortnight and if we get that
everything should be alright.
If we do have to cancel however, we'll put a
message up by the Wednesday of race week, so
please check before you come!
Keep your fingers crossed!!

North Run Charity Places

interested in running the Great North Run for the
Bendrigg Trust. This is a local Lakeland Charity
which provides
adventure
holidays for disabled children and is entirely
reliant on dontions and fees.
Bendrigg would provide transport to and

would be looking for runners to obtain in the region
of £500 from sponsors. The race is on the 5th
October. If anyone is interested in running it and
