One of the highlights of the athletics
year for both race walkers and runners will take place on Saturday
6th March 2010. This is the Manx Harriers Open Meeting, to be held on the perimeter road at
the National Sports Centre in Douglas. This meeting always attracts many
top-class race walkers from the UK, Ireland and sometimes beyond, as well as
our top locals. It is a great opportunity for local race walkers to compete in
the same meeting as several world-class athletes, or even just to watch top
athletes in action and learn good race walking technique from the experts.
The programme of events for the day
starts at 10.00am with a junior 1 mile race for competitors under the age of 15.
At 10.30am, 4 races start together.
These are the Junior 3k race for Under 13s and Under 15s, the 5k race (age 13
and over) the 10k race (age 15 or over) plus the 20k race for competitors aged 17 and over.
The final event of the day sees the 10Km run over 12½ laps of the perimeter road, starting at 2.30pm. The minimum age for the run is 15 on the day of the race.
All races are open to both male and
female competitors.
As always, Manx Harriers will endeavour
to make the weekend as full and enjoyable as possible for both visiting
athletes and locals by arranging a very informal social on the Saturday evening.
We hope to see many of our friends who have
supported the meeting in the past, and would be delighted to see some new faces
in 2010.
