Laa Columb Killey Traditional Parish Fair

Thursday 24^th June 2004.

Meteorological racewalker Adrian Cowin has taken on responsibility for organising the sports events in the Laa Columb Killey Fair which will be held on Thursday 24th June. I shall be teaming up with Adrian to organise and promote the 5 mile 'Marathon' run and race walk.  

These events once attracted large fields of local athletes and fun runners, but sadly over recent years numbers have declined with only 4 runners and 6 racewalkers taking part last year. This year we hope to revive these events with plenty of promotion & publicity.  

In the interests of safety I have agreed with Graham Davies from the IOMAA to conduct a full risk assessment of the course and provide appropriate course signing and marshals, in return for the issuing of an official road race permit.
