Rose Inn Series - Race 1 - 13th May 7:30pm
12/05/2008 by Andy.
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.
