Herefordshire and Borders XC League - Race 3 - Bearwood Farm Pembridge. Sun 3 Dec.

Wye Valley Runners look forward to welcoming you all to Bearwood Farm, Pembridge for the next race of the winter season. The race takes place on Sunday 3 Dec at 11.00 am prompt.

Junior racing starts at 9.30 am -details here

Based on the referee and organisers’ feedback from previous races please note:

  1. Club Vests must be worn. Race number bibs must be worn on the front of your vest please.

  2. Runners, please collect race chips with race bibs on and in view so that the transition of finding and giving chips out is easier and smoother.

  3. You must pick up your chip before 10.45 latest please - no chip no time - no arguments.

  4. Club reps need to do the conversing with Ready Set Go. It would be a good idea if club reps met their runners at a set place on-site. Then, sort out club-specific issues and go to RSG rather than individual runners going to RSG. If club reps aren’t present then please assign someone else to do their job for them.

Please follow this link for directions and a course map. Please car share as parking is limited. Your sat nav will lie about the farm entrance - please check the map and follow the signs. We are parking in the field this time around as long as the ground is good enough. We will revert to the yard if the weather turns against us - but obviously can’t make this decision until nearer the time

The race starts at 11.00 prompt as usual. Join us for tea and doughnuts afterwards in one of Ed‘s sheds.

The course is a mixed route of trail, farmland and woodland. Two laps = 10k - we think it’s a great course and expect some fast times. This year the start line has moved down the slope a little to add a bit of an extra twist.

As usual, we will have first aid cover and portaloos handy.

Look forward to welcoming you all on the day - if any clubs have supporters who would like to help with marshalling please shout
