Boxing Day Road Relay
Next edition - Friday 26 December 2008, start 11.00am
Please join us on the morning of Boxing Day for this annual bit of fun. The event is headquartered at The Farmhouse public house on the corner of Colman Road and South Park Avenue, Norwich and the action takes place in Eaton Park (a one-minute jog round the corner from The Farmhouse).
The race follows a simple format over four stages, and all runners - members of UKA clubs and unattached alike - are very welcome. Runners sign in at The Farmhouse from 10.00am (£4 each, minimum age 11 years), and then teams of four - each of one woman and three men - are drawn at random from a hat at 10.45am. Each team decides its own running order and gives itself a name before we nip round to Eaton Park for the start of the race at 11.00am (or thereabouts). Every runner completes a two lap, traffic free stage (measured at 3,334m), and there are modest mementoes for the first three teams and the fastest man and woman.
Please check out the full results on the left hand side of this page.
Each year, the Boxing Day Road Relay supports a worthwhile local cause that is close to our hearts. In recent times, we have raised funds for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, the Big C, the Peter Andrews Memorial Fund, the James Hurren Memorial Fund and the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust. In 2007, the proceeds of this event were donated to The Clare School, a community special school situated close to The Farmhouse in South Park Avenue, Norwich.
We hope to see you at The Farmhouse and in Eaton Park on Boxing Day.
