BA Clubs - Club Iberia Interclub 5k or Marathon 25th March
Dear All
First of all, Happy New Year:)
Following on from previous communication
about this event, here are more
information.
Club Iberia has proposed that we all enter
a local race rather than just
between our two clubs so that there is an
element of competition for those
who are keen to race rather than just a
social run. Of course, it can also
be a social run for those who just want to
take it easy and particiapte for
the social interaction with our Spanish
counterparts.
The proposed local event takes place on the
last Sunday in March - 25 March
2012 in Coslada, a town hear Madrid
airport. The event offers 2 distances
- half marathon and 5K. The circuit is
tough with many hills so it is not
a fast race, and also not crowded. Entry
fee last year was 5 EUR. The
location is easy to get to by train from
the hotel that Club Iberia usually
recommends. From colleagues who went there
last September for another
event, the feedback on the hotel is good -
rates reasonable and train
station just across the road. There are
also websites that offer very good
rates on hotels that you can check out.
Paco will forward more information on start
times, entry fees, deadline,
etc as soon as he gets it.
What I need now is your firm commitment to
this event. Now that you know
the date, I hope it is easier for you to
plan your work, holiday, marathon
training, etc around it. Club Iberia would
like to arrange a joint
carbo dinner with their runners on the
Saturday evening (split costs) for
those who would like to join in.
I am hoping for a good turnout for this.
It will be very helpful if
you can confirm your participation by the
middle of February - or earlier
if required by Club Iberia (I will send
another email if this is the case).
Hotel: I
checked out the hotel that was recommended to us by Club Iberia, and have
made my booking through booking.com
website. I opted for the one without
breakfast but changeable up to 23Mar12. I
put the link below for you to
check out the various options / prices.
You may wish to make your booking
now if you have confirmed your
participation. So far I have 3
confirmations - myself, Piers Keenleyside
(and possibly the missus) and
Dave Dixon.
