Phoenix Races – Ready for the off

Tuesday 6th November 2012

The Phoenix Road Races take place on Sunday 11 November.
This is a wonderful opportunity for junior athletes in particular, to compete in a properly marshalled and timed race within the safe surroundings of Preston Park. All finishers in the U9 and U11 races will get a medal.

For adults we stage a timed mile race sponsored by the Friday–Ad.
We invite runners of all abilities to take part.

You can sign up for any of these races on the day – be sure to arrive in
good time, registration can get quite busy. Ages as on 31 August 2012 in line with UKA rules. Vet groups – age on day of race.

If you can't run, please turn up to marshal or otherwise support the event.
