Castles & Rack Raid 10 mile
This is an opportunity for you to post a time to be considered for selection for the Castles and Rack Raid teams 2019.
The run isn't a Trial, it is a 10 mile run that anyone from the Club can run, and it is also included in the Club Championships. It is there so that anyone who hasn't got a longer distance time in has the chance before the teams are considered.
The course is the Handicap 10 course that we have used the last few years, but it is a mass start at 10am on Sunday 14th April 2019 (a little earlier than normal). You can turn up and register between 9.15 and 9.45am at the Start, but if you could indicate below if you are interested it will give us an idea of numbers.
There will be a charge of £1 per runner.
Please familiarise yourself with the course as marshals may be limited, we will place them where ever possible.
Start at Llandaff Fields on the main path just up from the Oval. Run up through the park towards Western Ave., take right turn at the cross roads - this will take you past the playground and around to the car park. Keep right and pass through the car park and out onto Penhill (opposite the Half Way Pub), turn right and run up Penhill to the traffic lights and turn right - this will take you past the old Churchills (1 mile) and Howells School. At The Crescent turn right which will bring you out opposite the Rugby Club, continue along Western Ave and turn right onto the Spine Road in Pontcanna Fields - past the Stables. Turn left along the cross path (2 miles is just before this), and run towards Blackweir Bridge, turn right and follow the river passing the back of the SWALEC Stadium (3 miles). Turn left over the Millennium Bridge, when you reach the Bute Park side take the second path and run towards the College of Music and Drama (as if you were doing parkrun), continue around until you reach the cross roads, go straight across (4 miles is on the playing fields) and follow the path right the way to the parkrun Start/Finish. Just before Western Ave you will reach the grass triangle at the bottom of the steps - this is the 5 mile turning point, keep to the left and head towards the steps, then turn right and right ~ now retrace your steps exactly until you reach the Start/Finish in Llandaff Fields.
If you are not running but can help out marshaling, then please indicate below.

A tough day at the office. 6 degrees at the start and a stiff south-easterly wind which seemed to be against us a lot of the time. But that was just for the runners. What about the volunteers? Absolutely brilliant effort everyone - hugely appreciated. Hope you're all somewhere warmer now.
