Notes:

Runners of all abilities are welcome. Social, not competitive and a good way to finish your weekend. Bring a water bottle. Refreshments provided at runs end. Gold coin donation appreciated. This year be the overall ‘summer champion’.
End of series prize to runner with most accumulated kilometres in the summer runs. Note:- Handicap event with extra k’s awarded to the older participants each week. (41 to 45 – 1km), (46 to 50 – 2km), (51 to 55 – 3km) and so on.
This of course will involve an element of honesty; I remain an optimist.
Note:- Course extensions for masochists and short run (5km) for beginners always available.
