MATCH 1 – SAT 13 OCT – WYTHENSHAWE PARK – NO ENTRIES ON MATCH DAY
Pre-Match One Update, course map and venue notes see website for information (course maps will be displayed on the day but copies won’t be available).
ENTRIES FOR MATCH ONE CLOSED AT MID-NIGHT ON 5TH OCTOBER. Full lists, by Club, will be posted on the website tomorrow following completion of relevant checks. Please check the lists as soon as they are available. Any queries please let me know – don’t leave them until match day. Entries will re-open after Match One.
NO ENTRIES ON MATCH DAY – PLEASE DON’T ASK! Runners who knowingly use another runner’s number will be liable to disqualification.
RACE NUMBERS should be collected by Club Contacts/Team Managers at Match One from Registration (situated in one of the cabins just inside the Track area). Numbers are for all five matches and must, therefore, be kept safe ready to bring to each match. Remember safety pins for your athletes – the League does not supply them! It is the responsibility of Clubs to ensure their runners have the correct number for each match.
ELIGIBILITY – please ensure that all the athletes you have entered are eligible to compete. If it’s subsequently found that an athlete was ineligible, any points scored by that athlete will be deducted and the athlete may be disqualified from competing in the remaining matches.
SLOWER MEN, if they wish, may run with the women, i.e. a shorter distance or, if they wish, may run a shortened Men’s race, i.e. two laps of a three lap course. Clubs may offer this option to those of their members they think may be interested. In either event, they would not count for their team and they would not be eligible for any awards. However, having taken one of the options at one match, they could opt to return to the full Men’s race at another match. Members should be entered in the usual way but if they choose to take one of the shorter options, the club contact should report to Registration before the race where they will be given a different number for that race only. Prior notice to race day would be appreciated.
With thanks and regards,
Brenda
