Tuesday 9th at 8pm 'EASTWAY' RISES FROM THE ASHES...
Chingford League clubs are invited to run in a 'pilot' 5K race at Redbridge cycling centre
Forest Road (far northern end), Hainault, IG6 3HP.
The idea is to road-test the venue to assess its suitability to possibly be a permanent
League fixture in future years as a replacement for the old Eastway circuit.
1. There will only be one race - for SENIORS ONLY on this occasion, must be over 18.
2. It will be NON-SCORING and will not count towards the current season's results,
but times will be recorded.
3. Your current League numbers should be used as if it were a normal League race.
4. Like Eastway, the circuit is unlit (apart from the vicinity of the clubhouse).
So wear a predominantly white/high visibility top - ORION VEST WORKS PERFECTLY!
5. Map HERE!
There's a good-sized car park at the entrance as well as excellent
changing/toilet/shower facilities for both men and women.
Public transport is far from ideal (nearest tubes: Hainault OR Fairlop on Central Line)
Allow plenty travel time!
The circuit only opened this summer so does not yet show on most road maps.
