Devilla Forrest Races

I am delighted to be able to tell you that we are finally able to open entries for the CARNEGIE HARRIERS Devilla Forest Races taking place on 23 February 2014. Both races - the 15k costing £10/£12 and the 5k costing £5/£7 - will officially launch on EntryCentral on Thursday 19 September at 0900. Would you please circulate this information to your club members.

I don't need to remind you to be very careful to enter the correct race - the one clearly badged 'CARNEGIE HARRIERS' - on the correct date - 23 February 2014. As you know, the race already posted is not the club-run race of the past two years.

Both races sold out in a fortnight last year, and there are no entries on the day, so if you are intending to run, you should get yourself to a computer very quickly. We look forward to receiving entries from your club members.
