Hello Serpies - You're invited to indicate your interest in the Green Belt Relay (18-19th May 2024), both on participating in the races themselves, or even better for the club, on being part of the Serpie organising teams.

If you indicate your interest in participating in the race, we will contact you when entries are open.

If you show interest in helping the teams' organisation, I will contact you soon regarding what needs to be done. In particular, we will need 8 No. drivers for the event over the weekend, some of them will need to collect a hired van before the event and return it afterwards.

A brief description of the race:

Green Belt Relay will be over the weekend of 18th and 19th May 2024, each day with 11 stages.  Each runner will run both Saturday and Sunday, on average about 10 miles each (totalling about 20 miles a weekend). The route is about 220 miles around the 'Green Belt' of London, i.e. Starting in Hampton Court, it goes through Surrey, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent and back to Kingston. There will be one away night (typically Basildon, Essex).  Entry fees are to be confirmed - this will include race entry, transport, official race T-shirts etc, and excludes accommodation. We normally field 3 or 4 teams (i.e. 33 to 44 runners), race categories are men's, women's, veterans' and mixed. Therefore, being fast is a bonus (we will normally have one or two teams being competitive and challenging for titles), but you don't need to be fast - you can join us if you can run 10 min/mile.
