WHAT IS IT?
A classic hare and hound type of race.
HOW FAR DO YOU RUN?
3-4 miles on average. If we didn’t run it would just be a drinking club!
I HATE RUNNING!
So do most of us. It’s not all about running, we also have walker’s trails. It’s about getting fun people together.
WHO CAN JOIN?
Anyone and everyone. Including kids. Just remember alcohol is involved.
Act responsibly. Please.
