- Mob Match – Sunday March 27th
It’s now time for call to arms for the mob match! Everyone who takes part scores points for the team and points mean prizes. So, the more runners we have the more points we score. We narrowly lost to Chepstow last time and 2 more runners would have made a huge difference. Walkers are welcome, as they will score points too. The route is now approx. 4.5 miles along the Bitton to Bath cycle path and will be chip timed. The event is on Sunday 27th March starting at 18:00 (so the cycle path will be quieter). Bitton are making this a family friendly social event with food afterwards and rumours of an ice cream van. As we are using chip timing we need to know who is running to allocate chips. The club is covering the cost of your chip. Please sign up now -> Put me on the team
I will be going on a recce of the route with the Bitton Captain Andy on Sunday 6th Feb at 10:00 if anyone wants to join me.
