Each year 20 races are chosen to go into the NSRRA programme and the best 12 performances in these races count towards the league competition. In each of the events the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc in each group receives 50, 49, 48, 47 etc points.

Staffs Knot - 12th August

Appeal for Marshals. The organisers of the JCB 5 have appealed for help Marshalling this event. Marshals will be required roughly from 6.15 to 8.15pm.
The race is on Thursday 16th July, it's a fun, family event. If you are not racing, but have a free couple of hours, or your partner is coming along to watch, why not ask them if they'd volunteer? It's a good way to watch the race as it's a two laper.

Team competition

The fast and flat course and ideal weather conditions provided an excellent venue for good times to be recorded. Staff and caretaker scored 10 out of 10 by ensuring a safe "dash" along the A51 by coning off one lane to separate the 2 legged racers from the four wheeled ones. The race excitement was hightened by incorporating a Junior 5 stage relay with the main 10k race, with junior athletes sprinting off every 2 km encouraged by hourds of screaming supporters which keeped the senior runners on there toes.
Leading NSRRA runners this week were Ben Gamble and Ruth Watchorn-Rice. Well done to both. (They are pictured below)
