THE COURSE
The recent wet weather means that the wooden bridge back over the stream after passing the pond in the first field and the descent through the final field should be noted as slip hazards.
There will also be barbed wire on some fences.
The ground surface is open pastureland with molehills, tussocks and exposed stones; there are tree roots underfoot on the climb through the woodland.
After the race please use the 10 station bootwash facility at the back of the farm offices to wash off shoes before crossing back over the farm courtyard and road to the college facilities.
Graham, our club chairman , will give a more detailed race briefing before the start.
Enjoy your run in Usk … if the weather is clear you will be rewarded with a superb panorama from the ridge…
