Severn Bridge 3K & One Mile
Thursday August 20th. 7:00-7:30pm.
No 10k this year but we will be holding a grass-roots style 'One Mile' event as we did last year, and also a 3k.
The mile will be a linear route (one way). It will start on the bridge and run back to the Aust end. Runners will be set off in waves (ten runners approx in each based on declared speed). This will be a gun to chip event (meaning that your time starts on the word 'go'). There are no timing mats at the start, only at the end, to record your time.
The mile is suitable for both Juniors and Adults.
The 3k will start where the one mile finishes. It will be out and back with a single turn around point near where the one mile event started, out on the bridge. It will be a mass start but times are based on chip to chip timing - meaning your time starts and finishes when you cross the mats to start and when you return.
It will be possible to run either event or both as the 3k will start a short while after the last wave of one mile runners returns.
Car Parking - is likely to be at the Aust services at the Gympanzees car park (old Aust services car park). There will be no event base as such, no cakes/coffees etc but there will be a medal for Juniors in the mile event and awards in the usual categories.
Awards for the mile are in these categories:
U12 M/F, U14 M/F, U16 M/F. Sen M/F, Vet 40+ M/F.
Awards for the 3k will be in these categories:
U12 M/F, U14 M/F, U16 M/F. Sen M/F, Vet 40+ M/F.
