Sign up for the Castles Relay

The Welsh Castles Relay, a 20 stage jaunt from Caernarfon to Cardiff, takes place this year over the weekend of 13th to 14th June. We’ve entered a team and are now collecting names of people who want to take part.

Selection for this event has nothing to do with ability - though you will need to be able to run approximately 10 miles at 10 min/mile pace or better due to the logistics involved.

It’s a weekend of fun (60 teams of 20 runners plus support vehicles in a convoy down the length of Wales) with two nights under canvas (or on the floor of leisure centres) and a whole heap of team spirit.

If you can’t make it for the whole trip (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon) then put your name down for one day (Saturday or Sunday). If you can’t commit to a whole day but could turn out for a single stage then put your name down too. Priority will be given to people who can commit to the longest period of time - but in all the years we’ve taken part we’ve always had runners who can only turn up for their stage.

A list is being compiled on the bulletin board (http://www.chepstowharriers.org.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=439) - if you’ve not got an account then sign up now, or give your name in person or via email to Andy Ost (or any other committee member).

If you’ve got any questions about this event take a look at our page on the subject (http://www.chepstowharriers.org.uk/castles.htm) and ask around - there are plenty of Castles veterans who will be only too happy to explain how it all works. The official website is: http://www.lescroupiersrunningclub.org.uk/castles/

Hope to hear from you soon!

Andy.
