The first race in the 2008 series of the Rose Inn 4 will take place at 7:30pm on Tuesday 13th May.

Entry is on the night only and costs £6 (affiliated) with a £2 additional fee levied by Welsh/UK:Athletics for unaffiliated runners.

The race takes place from the Rose Inn pub, Redwick (see http://www.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=NP26+3DU&ie=UTF8&ll=51.552857,-2.847707&spn=0.001044,0.004029&t=h&z=18&iwloc=addr for location - hint, you can zoom out from this view to see where in the world it is! Gotta love Google Maps). 

This is the first race in a series of 4, from which best 3 results count towards the series prizes.

It’s a flat, fast 2 mile loop, so you do two laps (which is tough when the BBQ is on and you’re starting the second lap).

As is customary for a Chepstow Harriers’ event - there’s a free pint for all finishers!

The pub has a beer garden for spectators.

What more could you want?

Another huge turn out led to a second successive double victory - men’s and ladies’ teams. Well done to all.

Special mentions to Nick and Sam - first place in the respective individual races - take a look at the “positions to date” to see where you stand overall. Prizes are on offer in all age categories…

The men have also now joined the ladies at the top of the combined XC/Road series with this victory.

Roll on the next race: Caerleon, 24th June (from the Wheatsheaf Inn, Llanhennock) - and this one’s a CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP event. 

Edit [13-May]: corrected results uploaded, no change to positions (I think!)
