Tiptree Road Runners

It must be summer, the Harwich 5K series starts this week on Thursday.  If you haven't done it before, it's a very friendly event, run along Dovercourt seafront - very fast flat course, unless the wind is strong!  It's run on a handicap basis, so you give the organiser your predicted time  and the more you improve, the more points you get as the series goes on. You start at different times and in theory everybody finishes together.

The first runners go off at about 8.00, but it''s usually busy first night as everyone has to register so get there early - 7.30 latest Full details and directions are on www.harwichrunners.co.uk
