Andrew Middleton invites you to the DVO Champs to join the fun at our Mass-Finish event!
This year’s club championships will take place at Allestree Park on Saturday, 19th October. We hope that lots of you will come along and enjoy this informal club event in the late autumn sunshine. Individual start times are calculated by a mysterious handicapping process which tries to ensure (though not always successfully!) that we all finish around 12 noon.
There will be 3 courses – planned by Michelle Mackervoy, DVO’s local mole in the park – with the following lengths (subject to finalisation):
Short 2km
Medium 4km
Long courses 6km
Perpetual awards will be made as follows:
First man home, Chris Yardley Trophy
First woman home, Judy Buckley Trophy
Fastest man, Peter Bourne Trophy
Fastest woman, Karen Jackson Trophy
First Junior, Lithuanian Trophy
This is a fun, informal club event but since there are trophies on offer we do have some “rules of competition”. These are
1. The medium and long courses are intended for seniors i.e. M21s and over.
2. The junior course (roughly TD (Technical Difficulty) 2/3) is primarily intended for younger juniors. Older Juniors may run a senior course and are eligible for a senior award.
3. If a senior runs on the short course, they are not eligible for an award.
Please enter on the form accessed at the link below and do ensure your information is entered correctly.
Please note that the closing date for entries is Friday 27th September. If you enter after this date we cannot guarantee you will be able to run. If you have any problems with the form just send me your details by email including your name, BOF number, SI number and the course you wish to run.
