IT IS FREE TO RUN and if you ran last year, then a number may well be available for you at the Preston Harriers Club Tent – look out for the very tall PRESTON HARRIERS flag near the club tent. You can ask for Steve Jackson or Alan Appleby who will sort everything for you. Please try to remember some safety pins. PLEASE ARRIVE IN PLENTY OF TIME. You will need to run in a Preston Harriers Club Vest.

If there is no number for you then it is very easy to register at the Mid-Lancs HQ tent which will be nearby. You will need to keep your number as it is needed for the whole season (apart from at Liverpool when new numbers for that race ONLY are issued at the club tent.)
HOWEVER LIVERPOOL WILL BE PRE-ENTRY / in advance through the Club and once the entry details are confirmed, how entries will work and what you need to do will be posted on the website, Facebook and the information will be passed out via coaches.

Presentation Night is Friday 21st April 2017 at the Bamber Bridge CC Club
