Children's Events

There will be two children's events, managed by the Ropley Youth Club :

• A 3km 'fun run' on roads and fields for children between the ages of 9 and 14 years - Medal guaranteed for all pre-registered runners
• A 500 metre dash around the Ropley Recreation Ground for children between the ages of 0 and 8 years

We would like to reassure parents that your child's safety is of utmost importance to us and would therefore draw your attention to the following :

• The 500m event is an all grass course and the Recreation Ground is totally fenced off from the road - ie. it is a secure area
• Race marshals will be stationed at various points around both courses to direct and help where necessary. St. John Ambulance will be in attendance and there will be someone to follow around at the back to mop up any stragglers !

Both the 3k and the 500m dash will start at 10.15am; the 3k from St Peters Church (the same point as the main race); and the 500m will start from the opposite side of the Rec to the Pavilion. Both courses will use the same finish line as that for the main 10k event.

There will be water at the finish, along with whatever we can rustle up in the way of fruit and/or energy bars. There will be a bar at the pavilion for stressed out parents and a hog roast after the main event if you are still hungry!

Entries for the 500m Dash are £2.00 each and £3.00 each for the 3km Fun Run. There will be no surcharge for on the day entries, however, we recommend you enter in advance to secure a place.

If you would like an event T-shirt, they are £3.50 and must be pre-ordered and paid for with your race entry. All postal entries are to be received no later than Monday, 12th May 2008.

Subject to the race limit of 200 being reached, we will accept entries on the day.

The entry form for the children's events is available here.
