We hope you will enjoy this fast, flat road race, but remember, it is on roads and there will be some traffic so please, for your own safety, do not wear headphones of any kind.

Wear your race number securely pinned to the front of your vest.
Race Information
** CHIP TIMING **
The race headquarters are at Sessay Village Hall, postcode YO7 3BE, where an area for luggage will be available. The race starts 100 metres or so from the village hall and the finish is off-road, within the grounds of the village hall, where drinks will be available. Warming up can be done on the cricket field.
*** No Late Entries ***
Car parking will be on the cricket field, adjacent to the Village Hall, where marshals will assist with parking. Please DO NOT park on the roadside as this will be on the course, and will be of inconvenience to residents (whose good will we hope to foster!)
