hi
Trevor & Helen,
just a quick line to say that entries are
now open for the 2012 event! I
would be grateful if you could circulate
the details to your club members
in case they may be interested in taking
part. This is a great prep run for
the Green Belt Relay! There is a full page
feature in the October Running
Fitness edition, in case they need any
encouragement!
best wishes, Nick Brown (race organiser)

1066 RELAY SUNDAY 6TH MAY 2012
The second staging of the 1066 Relay will
be held on Sunday 6th May 2012,
with 60 -70 teams of runners from all over
the South East expected to take
part in this 5 stage off-road relay
organised by Hastings Runners. The
33.25 mile race starts in the grounds of
historic Pevensey Castle, and
follows William the Conqueror's 1066
Country Walk route passing through
such iconic landmarks as Herstmonceux
Castle and Battle Abbey, before going
through Westfield, the Brede Valley,
Icklesham and the medieval town of
Winchelsea en route to finish in the
charming town of Rye.
The inaugural race was a great success,
attracting 39 teams and raising
over £1600.00 for local charities. Entry
limited to 60 - 70 teams, so
please enter early to avoid disappointment.
Any teams having to withdraw
will get free entry to 2013 race. Race
