THE 31st ANNUAL Metros FUN RUN
THE BRIAN JACKSON FUN RUN

Saturday 11th September 2010, Roxbourne Park from 8.45 am

This is the longest established Metros event and the club evolved from this event. It was originally designed as a warm-up for the National Fun Run, but it soon became an event in its own right. It is named in honour of Brian Jackson, the founder of the event and, for many years, the organiser.

Although this is a fun run, the course has been reasonably accurately measured and times will be recorded. The event will follow the same format as previous years and, as usual, it will incorporate the BJ Challenge, which is to run all three main races – Ladies 4km, Mens 4km, plus 2km - a total distance of 10km. For those who prefer to walk there is the 2km Bus Pass Challenge walk, open to all ages.

The Distances - 7 years & under = 500m. Under 11 = 2km. Over 11 = 4km
The Surface - Parkland (almost all grass)
The Place - Roxbourne Park, Cannon Lane South, Pinner.
The time: - 8.45 am Registration. Age as on race day.

There are also plaques, again to be held for a year for:

2 The fastest man and woman runner (both 60+) over the 2km course.

The Duathlon (like the Bus Pass Challenge Walk) is open to all but the awards are for the 60+.
