Vale Royal AC Runners

Here are the 2009 Fixtures.  Please let me know of omissions or any interesting races!

I have added several fell races from the FRA calendar if anyone fancies something a bit different.  They are graded A/B/C with A being hard and C being easier(!).  The L,M,S refers to distance. So "AL" is a long tough race to be avoided or enjoyed if your name is Marcus!  Entry details can usually be found on FRA Website (NB. FRA rules mean you must be prepared to carry map, compass, and windproof top and leggings.  Not always enforced though.)

On the road don't forget:  Bramhall 5k's every Saturday 9am: http://www.parkrun.com/brtt_home.aspx and Alexandra Park 5k's first Sunday of the month:  http://www.openathletics.org/index.php?page=alexandra-park
