Come out and run off the turkey with us on Boxing Day!

Chris and I clearly haven't done enough event planning together this winter as we decided to throw together a small event before the SI units go back to the locker. To keep it simple and allow us both to run in the event, this will be fairly bare bones and we will not be offering gear rentals.

Registration

• The deadline for registering is 6pm on Wednesday, December 25th
• The event is free with a 2024 club membership
• To see who has signed up, click HERE

Courses

• There is only one course (~5.2km 110m climb), but many shortcut variants will be provided on the day (down to ~2.8km 40m climb at the short end, or cut shorter at will)
• The course will be an experimental hybrid SI/pin flag format, so please bring your SI stick if you have one
• Some legs will be a bit greener than usual, so gaiters or long O pants are recommended if you're inclined to take the direct route
• The course covers part of Jericho Beach Park and the schools uphill of 4th which haven't been explored at the most recent events on the map
• Please cross 4th Ave at crossing points marked on map - it is a busy road

Schedule

• 11:00am: Registration opens - meet by Jericho East parking lot
• 11:15am: Start opens
• 11:45am: Registration/start closes
• 12:45pm: Courses close. Please report to the finish before leaving, even if not completing the course, so we know not to send out a search party!
