Dear All,

Well done to everyone who helped or competed at Pakenham yesterday. It sounds like there were some excellent results on the racing front and many kind comments regarding the marshalls and the organisation. Thank you to all those who volunteered and to Ian for briliant race director duties. The results will be circulated soon.

A message from Peter Jay regarding the cake stall and donations:

We would like to thank everyone involved in Sunday’s cross-country for all the cake donations and the hard work everyone put into making the morning such a success. Prostate Cancer has touched many club members’ lives, and I am thrilled to say the total raised was £863.86. What an amazing effort. I cannot thank the club enough for the opportunity to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK. Thank you again for everybody’s support.

And then details for the final race of the season are below:

Haverhill Running Club Suffolk Winter League Fixture

Date: Sunday 15th February

Location: Horseheath Racecourse, Horseheath, Cambs
CB21 4QP (The venue does not have its own postcode but this gets you to opposite the entrance)
What3words: ///seasons.routs.mute

Time: U11 fun run: 10:42, 11-16y: 10:40, Seniors race: 11:00

An undulating two lap course (one lap for juniors, 800m for U11s). The course is entirely on grass/footpaths/water(!) so is suitable for spikes or trail shoes. Your run will take you around the perimeter of the racecourse now taking in some nice wooded, slightly more technical sections and as usual you will get your toes wet in the watersplash!!

Strava segments: Are you feeling extra competitive? There are 3 Strava segments within the race. Sections will be marked at their start and finish.

Refreshments: Hot food will be available this year along with tea, coffee and an excellent selection of cake

On entering the site, please follow the marshals’ instructions to the car park. If you have a club gazebo please make the car park marshals aware and they will direct you closer to race HQ. Parking is limited so please car share as much as possible. Please note that when leaving the venue you will have to cross the course which may still be in use so please listen to the marshal and wait if requested for your fellow runners to pass. There is a ‘No right turn’ restriction on exiting the venue.
