FRIDAY 6th FEBRUARY 2009 1000 hrs.
Registration: Jadaf Nurseries behind Al Wasal Hospital
The Creek Hash House Harriers are again arranging a Creek Relay Race. Unfortunately the route has been revised to that of previous years due to the ongoing construction activities around the south end of the Creek.
This year the race will, as last year, start and finish at the open ground located behind the old site of the Jadaf Nurseries.
The race is open to all hashes, running and sports groups and individual teams, but will be limited to a maximum of 50 teams of four. Teams wishing to be considered for the prize must have at least one lady member. There are a total of 8 stages with each team member to run 2 stages. A team vehicle will be required to ferry team members between stages. Stages lengths vary from 3.5 to 6.0 Kms.
There will be prizes for the team finishing nearest to their predicted time, plus the fastest team. We will attempt to marshal runners through the tricky parts of the route. However copies of the route mark will be distributed at the briefings held at the Start/Finish area.
Registration of teams can be done on the race day, however to make things easier and to benefit from a discount, teams are encouraged to register in advance. Collection of registration fees and registration can be undertaken between 9000 – 1000 hrs. Team registration must be submitted “on-line” at www.creekhash.net “Creek Relay” before Thursday 5th February 2009. Costs are Dhs.240 per team until Wednesday 4th February 2009. After that the cost rises to Dhs.300 per team for late registrations. Allocations will be made on a first come first served basis.To try to get teams finishing close together, start times will be staggered. Teams predicting 3 hrs. or more to start at 1000 hrs. Teams predicting less than 3 hrs. start delayed by number of minutes under.
BBQ snacks, i.e. hot dogs and burgers will be available for runners and guests afterwards.
Registration on-line at www.creekhash.net “Creek Relay” and further details from John Harrington mob: 050 6450587 or Ian Browning mob: 050 4515847.
