Evening Harriers
The second Kent XC League race will take place this Saturday at Somerhill School in Tonbridge.
Please find attached a course map as well as a list of TWH entries. Directions and race times are listed below.
If you ran at Footscray Meadows, please remember to bring your Kent XC League race number — replacements cost £5!
Unfortunately Jillian and I are unable to make it this weekend as we will be away running the Frankfurt Marathon. Chairman George has agreed to look after you all on the day (be nice to him) and will have your race number if you didn’t collect it at the last event.
Don’t forget to bring some safety pins to attach your number! Please note that there are no entries on the day (please check the attached entries list to make sure that you have been entered).
The course is suitable for spikes.
Reminder: all runners must wear club kit (deckchair and dark coloured shorts/leggings) — David Castle has a stock of deckchairs at the Running Hub if you don’t have one, have misplaced yours, or need a new one.
LIFT SHARING
Please try and share cars where possible from St Johns Sports Centre. If you are able to give other people a lift or need a lift yourself, please post a message in the club Facebook group and arrange individually. If you don’t use Facebook and desperately need a lift, please contact me or someone else who can post a request for you.

APRES RACE REFRESHMENTS
Colin Timmins has very kindly offered to host the post race refreshments at his house in Tonbridge. Colin’s address is 6 Kings Road, Tonbridge, TN9 2HD. There is plenty of free street parking and he lives about halfway between Tonbridge station and the rear entrance to Somerhill. Dogs are welcome.
