GLCL News

As the venue is located in a residential area and its continued use relies on the goodwill of the local community we request that all runners park considerately at all times, and avoid using residential roads where possible.

There will be no parking at Rogerstone Primary School.

Please use the car park at 14 Locks Canal Centre, or on-road parking at the Wern Industrial Estate (next to Tiny Rebel and toilets). There are parking restrictions in place at Wern Industrial Estate, please follow the parking marshals advice when parking. Both car parks are a 15 minute walk from the venue.

There are now additional parking restrictions at Wern Industrial Estate, so allow extra time in case you need to find alternative parking.

Many thanks to Sarah Lauder and all at Lliswerry for providing the following information :

Lliswerry Runners look forward to welcoming you all to Rogerstone Sunday 28th Nov. for the next fixture in the GLCL XC series. Please see attached for full details regarding the route, venue and parking.

Results for XC Race 1 - Chepstow 31/10/2021

Very provisional and incomplete results are on the website here:
https://sites.google.com/site/glclrunning/home/results/2021-22-xc-results

Unfortunately due to human error the chip timing box wasn't turned on correctly and we missed the first 20 finishers. Luckily, with our backup scanner and the assistance of helpful runners around at the finish we think we've now added all those who were missing. Please email me on pfsdodd@gmail.com if you notice any errors in these top 20 - the times are pretty much irrelevant, it's the positions that matter.
Age categories are based on the information clubs gave me - if there are any errors let me know and I can change.
Please note that individual races have no prizes - only overall series prizes for categories are awarded.
The comment next to 1st place where it says prize - means you have won the respect and admiration of your fellow runners. This is the prize! 😀

XC Chip timing and Results

Chip Timing

This season we will be trialing a chip timing system. Runners need to wear a bib number on their chest (not shorts) with a chip attached to the back.

As you finish your chip is registered by the timing equipment and your finish time is automatically uploaded to the race software. No chip= no result.

Please note that if you hold your hand or arm across your chest as you cross the line (in order to stop your garmin watch), the equipment might not be able to detect your chip. Why not cross the line in glory 😎 with your arms aloft and then stop your watch 2 seconds after you cross the line?

It is hoped that results will be available the same day showing each runner's time and category position. Category winners and team results will also be published. Series results will be available as usual a few days later.

All clubs have submitted details of members wishing to take part in the series and been given the number/chips. Each club decides how best to organise the distribution and safe keeping of these At Chepstow we aware some members need looking after 😁 so we'll be collecting the numbers in after the event and then re-distributing them at the next.

Unlike parkrun where there is a 'no barcode no result' policy, individuals can obtain an additional race number at each event (if their first one goes missing for example). It is worth pointing out that this will slow down the publishing of results and create additional work for the admin team producing results 😒 Please make sure you don't forget your number. Additional numbers given out will require you to fill out 'the form of doom' and cost your club £2.

Any new members who join clubs during the season can also be given a number/chip at each event - a form needs to be filled out and the new member will need to know their URN number.

Results will appear here on the GLCL blog and the GLCL website.
The 'dummy' links below contain the results files links and will be updated when the results are available after the event:
