The Sunday Club run is at Elephant Park with a return to the relay run, starting at 9am. This run is very popular with 2 person teams drawn out on the morning. Handicaps are taken into account and each runner will run alternate laps with their teammate until both have completed 3 laps. Please arrive a little earlier so teams can be organised.

Time is running out to nominate someone for ‘runner of the year’ and ‘junior runner of the year’, so please get your nominations in.

Entries are open for the Orange Running Festival, to be held on the weekend of March 7^th and 8^th 2020.
