GEURNSEY Easter Runs. Caroline and Glen Street are travelling to Guernsey at Easter for a series of runs over the week-end. We have booked a self-catering apartment from Wed 31st March to Wed 7th April for four people, so if anyone would like to join us, please email glen.street@ntlworld.com or phone 07810066360. If you would just like to come for the weekend that can be arranged too. There are 4 races over the weekend (Fri 10K road, Sat 4.75mile XC, Sun 4x2mile XC relay and Mon 1/2 Marathon road). Last minute complications mean that we have these two places available. If there are three people wanting to come we can also arrange for an extra bed to be placed in the lounge.

RACE helpers 10k race was unfortunately abandoned due to bad weather. This will be rescheduled later.

THIS weekend sees the Hampshire Cross Country Championships run at Fleming Park Eastleigh.
The course is similar to last year's RR10 race at the same venue, runners have to wear numbers for this event and will be supplied when you arrive.
The Womens race starts at 1315 and is 8100 mtrs and the Mens race starts at 1345 and is 11500 mtrs.
So all you champions of Hampshire come along on Saturday for a good race. Phil.
