Remember that we need 15 runners, 10 men and 5 women, to complete a team in each race (does not have to be the same 15 each time) so it would be great to see lots of you competing to make sure we always have a full team.  I hope this year that we will have more support from Wadhurst Runners since Crowborough and Wadhurst make up a joint team in the League.  

For you golden oldies there is also the good news that this year there are two additional age categories for prizes :  MV65 and FV60.  Also, each club will be awarding an improvement prize for the best improvement in the season.  So, get training to win prizes – you have to complete in 5 of the six races in the season to qualify.  

Did you know that London Marathon times were slower the year after the (last) foot and mouth crisis when many runners were stopped from training off-road ?  So even for you marathon runners, there is good reason to do some cross-country.  

I will send out details nearer the time of each race.  

If you have any questions, please let me know  

Yours in mud
