JOK Chasing Sprint 2009 Flier
JOK Chasing Sprint - Whippendell Wood - 21 February 2009
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 Burnham Beeches National Event near Beaconsfield the following day?
