Sandy 10 Mile Race - 11 April

For the first time in the history of the race we have had to close off entries before the day - in fact over two weeks before the day. We have 645 runners entered. This just goes to show how the popularity of this race just keeps growing and growing and all thanks to the support of you, the members of the club.

We look forward to being able to provide a race for the competitors that they will enjoy and want to come back to again and again. Let's hope the weather warms up a bit!

See www.sandy10.org.uk for race history and details.
