TOMORROW!!

The Burtonwood 5 mile Road race was first run in 2005. The race is run on an accurately measured 5 mile road course on country lanes in & around Burtonwood.

There is also a fun run which is approximately 1.8 miles (not accurately measured).

The race is organised by Burtonwood Bridge ARLFC, assisted by Spectrum Striders Running Club.

There will be a free hot dog or beefburger to all finishers in the 5 mile race and the fun run.

Veteran's categories are in 10 year age bands, up to 55 for women and 60 for men.

The race starts and finishes at the Bridge Inn and the race route is on country lanes in & around the area of Burtonwood.

The closing date for receipt of postal pre-entries is Monday 16-Jul-2012.

Entry on the day will be available at an extra charge. If you want to enter on the day, please try to arrive early as it can get very busy in Race HQ. It would help if you could bring a completed race entry form and the right money (or a cheque).
Refund policy

If you have entered the race and are unable to run for whatever reason, like most races we are unable to offer refunds. Also, we are not able to defer your race entry to the following year.

However we do allow you to transfer your race entry to another runner.
Transfer Of Race Entries

The organisers allow runners to transfer their race number to another runner provided they submit a completed entry form which is clearly marked:

"Transfer runner number XXXX from previous runner "

Please give as many details of the previous runner as possible; including "age on race day" and sex. We want to make absolutely sure we transfer the entry from the right person. The entry form for the new runner MUST be completed as normal with age, sex etc.

We would much prefer all changes to get to us before the closing date, but we will accept changes on the day at Race HQ. If you want to do this, please arrive early!
We will not charge a transfer fee to do this unless we incur a cost. We want to see the right names against the runners in the results.
