If anyone is looking for a multi-terrain approx 10k run on Sunday, then Sedgefield Harriers Winter Handicap is on. This is an invitational run (not a UK Athletics registered event) - but as members or guests of Quakers Running Club you are invited. There is no entry fee - however donations for refreshments at the finish would be welcomed.

The start is in a field on the left hand side of the road as you go into Fishburn from Sedgefield. Registration is from 9am and the race starts at 10.30am. As it is a handicap event, please try to remember your fastest 10k time of the last 12 months - but if you haven't done one, the organisers will estimate from any results you do have ! (Be honest !) Embarassed

Obviously with the weather, parts of the course will be soft, wet and muddy - and as always runners take part at their own risk. The route will be marked and marshalled.
