Happy New Year! 2023 kicks off with the 5km Series at Hagley Park. If you are keen to run some or all of the series, check out the website here for information and to enter.
Hagley Park
Many traditions come with the festive season, for SRC it’s the 5km handicap race.
But wait, there is a twist … it’s not how fast you are but how accurate you are based on your predicted time. If you are more than 3.25% quicker than you say, don’t expect to be on the podium. That’s the
qualifying limit to have a counting time. (For those who need some easier maths, it’s about 2 seconds per minute). There is more than just bragging rights this year, there is a trophy up for grabs.
When: Wednesday, 21 December
Start: First runner will head off at 5.40pm
Where: Hagley Park (same course and start as the 5km Series
Rules enforcer: David Fitch
This event is open to all club members, whanau, and friends. Afterwards we will be heading to Volstead on Riccarton Rd for some refreshments – just a short walk from the park.
Entries need to be in by 7:30pm Tuesday 20th December.
