The Club League Teams and entrants have now been set and are all ready for the start of the league this Sunday in Raheny.
Over 100 of the Club’s finest have signed up for the league and with 21 teams, each named after major Marathon cities, we are good to go. Many thanks to Brian for the Cities idea.
Check out the Club League page for the Team sheets, the entrants and all the Handicaps and explanations.
As a friendly start to the league – we have added 5 seconds (per mile), to everyone’s Handicaps times. This will make it a little easier to get back into the swing of things for 2012.
Best of luck to everyone in Raheny this weekend.
