Hi everyone,

This is to confirm Handsworth Roadhogs are ready with the Handsworth leg of the inter club winter crossy series this coming Sunday (12th Feb) at 11am.

It will be the usual two lap course with the finish in the field behind Handsworth church at the top of the hill on Handsworth Road. The start will be on Grange Lane which is at the bottom of the same field. The course will be taped up and marshals will be at key locations. We’ve not had much rain recently so it’s currently fairly dry underfoot, trail shoes are probably the best footwear.

We really regret it’s not been possible to find a venue to ‘host’ the event – Sunday lunchtime is a peak time for pubs/clubs etc. It is suggested that toilet facilities are available at the ASDA on Handsworth Road near the Sheffield Parkway roundabout and at Morrisons just off the Parkway at Catcliffe. There are also the woods that we use for the course….

We will have bottles of water/crisps/sweets available at the finish.

It’s on street parking only so please car share if you can.

The weather forecast looks decent so we hope to see everyone on Sunday morning👍.

The two lap course is about 5.25 miles/8.5k and quite hilly😃
