This falls within the window of our 5k Auldhouse TT which i will mention more about at the end of this.
The event is a virtual 5k with the same rules as previous virtual events.
No point to point, No laps of less than 1k, Must be run solo and you must finish close to where you started with no significant loss of elevation.
This event is also being used as a trial for a potential SA 5k championship to be held at Silverknowes in Edinburgh in September if allowed. They are looking at inviting 100 ladies and 100 men from those that take part in the vitual event. This is probably more of interest to our faster runners.
If the 5k championship goes ahead they are looking at wave starts with chip timing which would be consolidated to give results so would be a step away from the normal of first across the finish line.
A few have expressed an interest so i will just enter all that have an up to date membership with SA this week and it leaves the option open to everyone.
Getting back to our Auldhouse TT this is going to be a GP event so if your going to do both try and time the days to do both well enough apart to give them your best efforts. There is a thought that doing the TT will suffice for both but a word of warning on that. Its often found that the TT on Garmin comes up a little short on distance so would not be accepted by SA and you would have to run further to make it valid.
