Tweed Striders look forward to
welcoming you to the third leg of the XC at Spittal. In order to ensure the event goes as smoothly
as possible for all (runners, spectators, volunteers, local residents), we
would ask you to take some time to read these brief notes.
Car parking : there is a large
car park on the left hand-side of Sandstell Road as you approach Spittal Point
and there is plenty of on-street parking in Spittal but, if parking on-street,
please ensure you do not block driveways etc.
For those of you still to collect
numbers, Romie Scott will issue these from her grey Suzuki Splash (NJ13 AXK) which will be parked in the very small
carpark at the end of Sandstell Road.
However, in order to leave this carpark free for Berwick residents out
for a Sunday stroll, please do not park here.
Both races will start on the
beach at Spittal Point. The beach can be
accessed from St Helen’s Terrace (north end of Spittal Prom) : from St Helen’s
Terrace, go down the walkway on to the
beach, turn to your left and walk back along the beach to the start.
The junior race will start at
11.30 am and senior race at 12 noon. There
will be a warning whistle 5 minutes before the start of each race and the
athlete briefing for both will be on the beach at the start line. However, in the event of “the unexpected “, Tweed
Striders reserve the right to amend race start times (and courses) as
necessary.
The results will be posted on the
XC website as soon as possible. However,
whilst the timekeepers and recorders (all of whom are volunteers as are the
marshals) do their utmost to get everything right, grelims can and invariably do
sneak in. So, in the event of gremlins, please contact Tweed Striders via tweedstriders@gmail.com
or via a host club rep - then bear with us while we fix.
Forte Bros will have a catering
van on site (either at St Helen’s Terrace or on the grass in front of the
chimney) selling tea, coffee, bacon / egg rolls, soup etc. There are public toilets further along the
Prom, behind the arcade just after the Bowling Club. There are also public toilets in Berwick town
centre (Eastern Lane and Woolmarket).
