Ekiden Relays 2016

This year’s Ekiden relays will take place at Woodbridge School on 17th July. For those of you that don’t know what Ekiden is, it is, in simple terms, a marathon run as a relay by a team of six. It consists of the following distances, in this order:- 7.2K, 5K, 10K, 5K, 10K, 5K. It is terrific fun and a great club day out. This year, like last, we have eight team slots and I expect to find 48 athletes wishing to take part fairly easily. It’ll be a first come first served affair, with the 49th person to register an interest being first reserve and so on. I will be largely managing this event via FaceBook, but I recognise that some choose not to use this medium, so if you’re not a FaceBooker and wish to take part please register your interest by dropping me a line at captain@frr.org.uk. If you have a distance preference please let me know at the same time along with any other information such as preferring an early, or indeed late leg. I for one am looking forward to another sensational day out dressed in my favourite colour, RED!!!!!

Regards to all,

Robin Harper,

Club Captain.
