Find attached course map. The race timings are as usual and can be found at http://www.harrierleague.com/ (bottom right of homepage).

Registration will be in the bar area as usual, first right after the toilets.

TRAVEL AND PARKING. Parking is on site as usual. Please follow signs and any instructions given once you have turned off the A181 - see road map. Should be obvious where you're turning! (Buildings / land with John's name over it!).



THOSE TRAVELLING FROM THE WEST (FROM THE A1) - DO NOT TURN RIGHT OFF THE A181 TO ENTER THE SITE. CONTINUE TO THE ROUNDABOUT AND RETURN FROM EASTERLY DIRECTION AND TURN LEFT INTO THE SITE. WE'D LIKE TO KEEP THE FIXTURE!

Course Map

Guests may run in the league at a cost of £5 for the whole season. This is a one off charge. They must register on the day, and let us know if they competed last season (and if they did we can check the pack).

Guests must be members of a EA or SA, or similar affiliated club.

Second Claim runners may not count for team points. They can either run for their first claim club as a guest, or if they come and register on the day they can take part as a non-counting runner in their second claim vest.

Guests & Second claim runners do not accumulate team points, but do get individual grand prix points.

Race HQ will be at the all new singing and dancing NEHL Tent next at the start area.

Reminder to ALL competitors. We do not split race packs. Your team manager needs to collect and pay for your team entries. I have a list of who owes what, we wi
ll not take individual numbers out of the packs, we are far too busy. Find out who your team manager is and make sure they have a cheque or cash with them to cover the club's entry fees.

Costs are £50 + £3 per runner for clubs

£5 for guests

If by some unknown reason you manage to lose your number on the day you've collected it from your team tent, you can buy a new one for £5. I know it sounds daft, but it has happened before.



Quick reminder of the rules.

You must start in the pack you have been allocated. (You will be DQd for running from the wrong pack)

You must wear your club's team vest or t-shirt, and all vests must be of the same design (or you will be DQd & won't count for team points)

As per league rules you CANNOT wear headphones
