Peebles XC Race - Sun 2nd Dec - HELPERS REQUIRED


Dear Club member

The PEEBLES leg of the Borders X Country Series is being held on SUN 2nd Dec
As host club, we require to mark out the course, provide the starters, time keepers and marshals for the race, so we are looking for some volunteers to spare a couple of hours on the Sunday at Hay Lodge Park.
  • 0900 Advance party marking out the park and checking the rest of the course beyond the park (set out previously on Sat PM)
  • 1100 Marshals and helpers meet at start area North of Fotheringham Bridge for marshals briefing and allocation of marshalling locations
  • 1130 Junior race starts - should be finished by ~1150; senior race marshals make their way to their locations
  • 1200 Senior race starts - last runner normally in by ~1250; marshals bring in course markings back to finish
  • 1300 Should be finished and you are relieved of your duties (if not finished earlier)
Please let Head Marshal Eddie Balfour know if you are available to help on race day either course marking 0900 to 1100 (under Gregor’s guidance) or to marshal/officiate between 1100 and 1300 by emailing e.balfour@jamesjones.co.uk

If we get enough helpers in advance, we can pre-allocate duties and marshalling locations which makes things easier for everyone on the day.

As ever, if you are planning to run as a Moorfoot club member, please can you provide substitute marshal/helper to assist with the host club duties.

Eddie Balfour
Club Treasurer
