JOK Chasing Sprint 2008 Flier
JOK Chasing Sprint - Bloom Wood - 17 May 2008
The Chasing Sprint contains all the excitement of a chasing start in one day. Competitors run two short courses, the second of which will have starts determined by times in the first - and so first runner past the post wins.
Why not combine this event with the Harvester Relays overnight to make a weekend of racing? The Harvester is less than half an hour's drive away and the start isn't until midnight, so you'll have plenty of time to recover.
