Club Handicap – Tuesday 21 December 2021

The annual Christmas 5-mile club handicap took place on Tuesday 21 December.

Thanks to Jerome, Francie, Gillian, Ernie, Danny and Connaire for officiating and marshalling along the way. Getting it 100% right is an impossible task and we recognise that a few were sent out too early and a few were sent out too late. Nevertheless, it was good fun and an opportunity to run as hard or as easy as your fitness levels and other training priorities allowed for.
