A message from Sue Denmark to all SROC members

As you are no doubt aware SROC is to host Day 5 of the Lakes 5 Days Event on 27th August 2010 on Helsington Barrows. This is a big commitment as we are expecting around 1600 competitors so we will need a lot of helpers on the day. I have all the team leaders now in place.

Phew what a scorcher!

A mixture of newcomers and a few old hands battled temperatures in the mid 20s in Worden Park today. The dog-wash came in handy to help cool down afterwards! Results have been added to the Results Page.

Next event - Worden Park Saturday 22nd May

The O-zone series moves to the extensive parkland area of Worden Park in Leyland next Saturday. This area offers some fast running over open fields combined with some intricate navigation in the wooded valleys. The park also has a number of attractions such as a maze and adventure playground. The cafe is well worth a visit as well! More details of the event may be found on the fixtures page.
