This event sees the return of a once common challenge event. The last time that a 1 Hour Race was held in Cardiff was May 2004, there are very few of these events held in the UK now so we are offering you the chance to have a go. There are several age group records that could be up for grabs, so why not take the test.
The Stadium opens at 10.00am on a Sunday, so if you arrive before this you may find the car park still closed
Collect your numbers on the day between 10.00am and 10.40am. There will be a Lap Scorers briefing at 10.45am, and a Runners breifing at 10.55am. The Race will Start and Finish with a Gun Shot, there will be a whistle blown with 1 minute remaining and then again with 30 seconds remaining. When you hear the Finish Gun Shot, please stop as soon as possible and your Lap Scorer will record your finishing position and complete your paperwork.
We will do the Presentation of Awards (based on entries) as soon as we have confirmed the distances covered.
The British Masters Records are in Single Year Age Groups, the current list can be found here. We feel that some of these are achievable, so come on and take up the Challenge.
