As we come to the end of the 2024 League we need to turn our thoughts to our 2025 programme. By Christmas we will have staged 19 league races; it should have been 20 but the postponed Cirencester race was eventually held on about the wettest evening of the year, and only a small handful of bedraggled runners were brave enough to run it, so we dropped it from the league results. For 2025 we would like to get close to similar numbers of events, and are keen to hear from anyone who fancies planning one. There is a spreadsheet available on our Google Drive which lists possible dates, and some potential venues, so if you are interested in planning a race, email Maprun@ngoc.org.uk and we can send you a link and some more details. Don’t be constrained by the venue list; we’ll be happy to consider anywhere that is suitable and reasonably accessible.
In the meantime, two more races to see out the 2025 league, so head over to Fabian4 and sign up for Magor and Ebley – should be great races in new areas.
