The Joe Moran veterans Track and Field Event
Held annually since 2008, athletes over 35 compete in up to four track and field events. Further details here.
Christmas Handicap
This is a free event for the club’s juniors and seniors, with the juniors running a 1 mile course and the seniors 3 miles. Each person is given a handicap calculated by the club’s coaches, so it’s unlikely the fastest runner will win. Everyone brings a prize to win a prize, and the person finishing first gets to pick first, etc. Details here
