Road League 2012.
Race information and venue details
As usual we have four fixtures for the Road League this spring. Numbers can be obtained from your Club Road League representative. The fee is £6 for the series. Please pin numbers to vests and do not use the triathlon waist bands as this causes difficulties for the recorders. These races are restricted to members of South Yorkshire clubs affiliated to England Athletics.
The attention of competitors is drawn to two of the League rules. Club vests must be worn. Failure to do this will result in disqualification from the team event. The use of earphones during the race is not permitted. Anyone doing so will be disqualified and their name will not appear in the results. This is for safety reasons and applies to all competitors.
Please observe these rules and the instructions which follow and ensure that we have enjoyable and safe races.
