It's that time of year! The Christmas Race for Junior Club Members will start and finish at the Rugby Club. Please arrive by 11:00 at the latest for registration and warmup with the junior coaching team. The race itself will start promptly at 11:15.
The course route is 2k around the fields at the back of the Leisure Centre, the course will be clearly marked out with marshals directing and giving lots of encouragement to our young runners. Its a race that anyone could win - graded times based on performances at junior parkrun etc means runners will start at different times with close finishes (almost) guaranteed. There is no session charge for this event.
The Senior race is also taking place on a different course around Market Harborough and we aim to all meet up in the club house for declaring the winners and awarding the trophies.
Please bring an item of food along that we will donate to the Jubilee Foodbank in Market Harborough - part of a joint collection with our friends at MHRUFC for this great local charity.
This is their list of suggested Christmas items (and note beans and pasta are items they don't need!):
Luxury brands rather than own brand foods (E.g., luxury packs of biscuits and crackers for cheese)/Chocolate coins/Chocolate bars/Tins of high quality ham/Coffee/Packs of dried fruit and nuts/Angel Delight/Microwave Sponge Puddings/Packets of dried custard. See their website for more information and latest requirements: Shopping List | jubileefoodbank (jubileefoodbankmh.uk)
We also need a team of volunteers to help out - if you want to volunteer to support the event please book on the Volunteers session for the Junior Race.
Hope to see many of our juniors taking part
