The first of this year’s Club Championship races takes place this weekend with the rescheduled Old Father Time 5 mile, we have opened this up to everyone in the Club rather than its traditional 35+ only.
Our original intention was for everyone to run the same course anytime between 00:01 on Thursday and 23:59 on Sunday but the current lockdown doesn’t make this a possibility for some members.
In view of this, whilst our preference still remains that if you are local enough you run the Old Father Time course in Pontcanna Fields (details attached), if this is not possible then you can run locally to you but must make sure that your route is either circular or out and back, with the start and finish in the same area as much as physically possible.
Your race must take place between 00:01 on Thursday 14th and 23:59 on Sunday 17th January. All results must be submitted by the cut off date and time. We will review the format of each event and update you at the time.
Please email your result evidence to
lcrcrunevents@gmail.com. The evidence should be a public activity via either Garmin Connect or Strava. If the activity is not public we will not be able to view it to verify your results and therefore will not score in the Club Championships.
Wherever and whenever you run please make sure you are following the current Welsh Government regulations.
The OFT course starts and finishes in the same place, just up from the stable, at the top of the ramp there is a fallen tree, the start/finish is the first wooden bollard on the left. Run down the Spine Road, past the SWALEC Stadium and Sport Wales, across the roundabout and past the bus station. Just before the end of the road take the path on the left up to the river path, turn left and follow the river path all the way to Blackweir Bridge, turn left and take the cross path and back to the Spine Road, that’s the end of the first lap. Turn left and repeat the loop again, when the reach the end of the cross path for the second time turn right and head for the finish.
