Henfield Joggers are excited to announce the opening of our Junior section and our official launch event.
The first ever Henfield Junior Joggers event is an interesting challenge open to anyone 8 to 16 years of age – existing Junior members or not yet Junior members alike!
Our Junior runners can choose to run 2, 3 or 4 loops of our marked 600m course, but there is a catch. Before they start they need to predict their finishing time with the race winner being the runner who runs, walks or skips their chosen distance closest to their predicted time. HOWEVER… The second catch is that no one is allowed to run with a timing device of any sort. No watches, no phones, no clocks.
This event is the same night as our adult sections Naked 5km (same race format as the Junior race). So there will be a lot of club members in attendance and it is a very fun and sociable night. Parents / Carers are invited to stay during and after the junior event and take the opportunity to meet our committee and ask any questions of our Junior coaching team that you may have.
Date & Time: Wednesday 17th April. Meet at 6:15 ready for a 6:30 start.
Where: The Cabin at Berretts Farm. Emily and Kieran will be open, serving drinks and snacks.
Route: Runners will start inside the Berrett Farm field and run anti-clockwise around the field to the southern end where they will be marshalled out of the field and onto the Downs Link. Turning left they will run back towards Berretts Farm turning back into the field to finish one lap.
