Saturday 4th
Bennachie Hill Race: marking
out the course.
A leisurely stroll over a section of the race
course is on offer this morning, meeting at the Back 'o Bennachie
car park, nr Oyne for 0900hs, to mark out the race route with some
canes and marker tape. All runners / walkers / kids / dogs
welcome!
Sunday 5th
It's Bennachie Hill Race
Day!!
Race starts at 1400hrs from the Back 'o Bennachie car
park near Oyne, but we could do with all the help we can get
beforehand to set things up, so if you can spare so time it would be
greatly appreciated!
We are also still a bit low on race
marshalls, so if you are looking for an excuse not to run, see
Bruce.
We also need some home bakes for the tea tent, to
revive all the race finishers...all bakes greatly
appreciated.
Finally, we need some GRRers to actually run the
race; club numbers have been down quite a bit this year, and it
would be a travesty if we were'nt well represented in our club
race!!
Have a great week.
Run Long and
Taper.
The GariochRR team.

Bagel
Boy Recommends....
What to eat with your bagel?
How about some
comforting soup - Bagel boy recommends the latest range of Baxters
Deli soups - Italian Wedding soup in particular is wonderful with
its pasta & mini- meatballs....
The Beef Chilli with
buckwheat is also fab....
Available at all good supermarkets
(oh, and Tesco
too....) |
