Club Reverse 10 Road Race (Marshalling)

Marshalling

I am sure that everyone will agree the importance of marshalling a Road Race.

Ensuring the safety of all the Runners taking part has to be our main concern.

With this in mind our Committee has decided that any club member who wishes to take part in the race this year should nominate a replacement marshal, this can be a family member or a friend.

Could any member who wants to take part in the race please speak to Nick Pounder (Marshal Director) or Andy Davies (Club Chairman) ASAP.
