The eighth race in the series - the Totton 10k - took place on Sunday 6th and some of us had to follow snowploughs to get there! Fortunately the weather on the course was cold but clear by 11am so no St Bernard's rescue was needed. Results are available from the race website or with league calculations here.
The Hampshire Road Race league tables have been updated with the results.
The remaining race entry forms, for Alton 10 miler and Winchester 10k, are available from our fixtures list and from the organising club websites.
Many other local race forms are made available at HRRL races. At Totton these included the Purbrook Ladies 5k and the Ropley 10k, the latter of which is followed by a hogroast.
The next meeting of the Hampshire Road Race sub-committee will be held on 19th May at Fleming Park Bowls Pavilion. The AGM (where next year's races will be decided) will be at Wide Lane on 16th June. All running club representatives are invited. More details will be emailed nearer the dates.
The HRRL Website has adopted a new style, with navigation at the top to give more usable screen space and a new league summary page. Any feedback on how you like the change and ideas for further improvement are welcomed (see contacts page ).
