Type of event: Training, Juniors
Despite the dire weather forecast, 30 JOGgers set out on the courses planned by Sheila Braine. Competition was fierce on the Fox course, and the junior courses were challenging for the parents who had to keep up!
Fresh back from his Ironman world championship, Adam completed the Fox in less than 30 min-impossible said Linda- and he lost his control card! We celebrated Linda’s birthday with a Hazel cake baked between ParkRun and JOG.
Various Club and QOFL trophies were presented after and we were back in sunny Taunton by 5pm.
Many thanks to Roger and Judy for organising.

THE ROAD THROUGH KINGSTON ST MARY IS LIKELY TO BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY FOR ROAD WORKS SO ALTERNATIVE ROUTES TO WIND DOWN FROM TAUNTON WILL BE NEEDED.
We cater from beginners through to a good club standard. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger, and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. The Fox course usually incorporates adult training exercises.
Hare to Badger usually uses PIN punching. Fox is sometimes PIN punching and sometimes GPS punching. The latter is also automatically uploaded to Routegadget.
Please note that pre-entries close at midnight 16th September as we need to know entry numbers for map printing purposes. Entry on the day will be available but there will be limited map numbers so pre-entry is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
Please consider buying a pack of pre-entry credits in advance. This costs you the same but saves the club a lot in credit card fees.
Starts from 1.30pm. No starts after 2.30pm. Controls collected 3pm.
