The George Cummings Road Relays (Houston) - Grand Prix Race #1

The first race in this year' Grand Prix is the George Cummings Road Relay in Houston on Saturday 6th October, a regular fixture on our race calendar (although at a couple of different venues over the years) since our formation.

To be included in Calderglen's entry please leave your name on this form.
Names received so far are here.

We will close entries after training on Thursday 4th October and publish the teams and running order on the Friday night. This is one of those highly competitive events where all your regular rivals will be in action so you can get a real idea of how race fit you are. This also begins our build towards Brampton and building the race fitness needed for that event. Although we will be missing many who are racing at Chester that weekend, we are a big enough club to still have a good number of teams out. The more the merrier.
