For 2011/12, sponsored by Ramsey Bakery.
The Fireman's runs are a series of handicapped
races held over the autumn and winter months around the streets of Ramsey. There are two
races to choose from, a 1 lap race (approximately 1.7 miles and a 3 lap race
(5 miles).
The first run of the series is a straight race with finishing times determining the handicap of runners for the next race. As the series continues start times are based on the runner's fastest time. This gives raw beginners as much chance to win as the more seasoned athletes.
There are 6 races, all held on a Thursday night with registration at 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start at Ramsey Fire Station. Since all the races take place in the dark, runners are required to wear hi-viz clothing.
The fee for each race will be £4 for affiliated athletes and £6 for unattached.
Dates:
- Round 1: 6 October 2011
- Round 2: 3 November 2011
- Round 3: 1 December 2011
- Round 4: 5 January 2012
- Round 5: 2 February 2012
- Round 6: 1 March 2012
The races start and finish at the Fire Station taking in Parliament Street, Waterloo Road, Queens Promenade and West Quay.
Prizes are awarded to the top 12 for the series in each event. The presentation will take place after the last race in the series.
