15th NOVEMBER Hylands park
15th NOVEMBER Hylands park
Entrance to Hylands Park is from the A414 Writtle By-Pass where there is car park access to the right. The nearest postcode for Sat-Nav users is CM1 3RL which is approximately 300m from the Writtle entrance.
There are toilets in the car park, but unfortunately there are no changing facilities. The start and finish areas are just beyond the children’s play area.
The only refreshments available are in the old stable block near the main house and these are at commercial prices.
We will be using the same course as last year ( subject to the park owners amendments, if any ) with one or two small changes where trees have fallen and a path through the woods has been blocked by the owners.
A course map will be sent out by next weekend and I hope to have it on the Chelmsford Athletic Clubs website soon.
Last year we were asked by the park owners to request that young runners do not use the wooden playground area if they are wearing spikes, as spikes damage the wooden surface, they are of course free to play on the playground with ordinary shoes if they wish to do so.
There will be an under 11 race the start times are U11 Girls 11.15am and U11 boys 11.30am. £3 each. You can enter this through the C S A C ( Chelmsford Sports and Athletics Centre ) web site or you can enter on the day for £4, but please get there and enter early, it will be easier for all if you pre enter. these races have to start on time.
There is a typing error on the entry form that still has not been amended, on the day of the race you must be either nine or ten years of age, if you are eleven you cannot enter this race. Please do not try and enter this race through Chelmsford Athletics Club it can only be entered through C S A C.
