Mel Batty 10k

[Deleted User]

SUNDAY 26th AUGUST @ 9:30 am

We are pleased to announce the inaugural 10K. Many will remember the original Mel Batty 10 mile race. This new race will cover some of the old route starting and finishing on the Blackshots track.

Mel broke the World Record for 10 miles in 1964. His time was 47minutes 26.8 seconds. He died in September last year and we felt that we could honour his memory by reviving the Mel Batty 10.

We are delighted that Brooks Sports Shoes, with whom Mel was associated for many years, is sponsoring our race and providing the prizes. T-shirts will be provided to every finisher. Entries received before 18th August will be sent via post. On the day entries will only be accepted if the maximum number of 400 runners has not been reached.

Parking is available at either Impulse Leisure, Blackshots Lane, Grays or as directed on the day.

Entry fee's are £10 for affiliated and £12 for non-affiliated runners. The course has potential to be a very fast one, so please sign up today and spread the word.
