Furzton Relay
Redway Runners Furzton Relay is back! In reverse order, we will be running round the lake, running up a hill and running to the finish line. Once again on Saturday 13th July we'll be opening this event to all so come and put yourself against teams from other local clubs, please encourage your junior teams to join in too.
As always the relay is both a competitive event and an opportunity to team up with running friends and enjoy the summer sunshine. There will be plenty of opportunities to soak up the British weather with a slice of cake, coffee, and even a few goodies for all finishers.
Entry
To register, think of a team name and select 3 running buddies.
We require one person to enter the team of 4 then completing the booking form for each team member. One payment will then be required for the total sum of £50 per Team including mixed junior and senior runners or, £24 per junior team (all 4 must be under 18 years of age).
If you are not a member of Redway Runners you’ll still need to create an account, this is free – you don’t need to join the club.
