Helpful hints on Run Britain entry system
- Men Sub 20/Ladies Sub 22- If you feel you have a chance of achieving this time then enter YES in the 7pm Box and enter NO in box 4. If you're usually a few seconds out and you want to give it a go then still enter this as it is a faster course this year.
- Sub 16 Men/ 18 Ladies. Enter YES in that box together with Power of Ten link from 01/2019
- Championship Entries as rules stated below for 7pm race - enter YES in that box as well
- Men 20/Ladies 22 minute plus - If you feel you cannot achieve the time in box 1 and you don't want to be considered for Championship selection then enter No in the other boxes and enter YES in this box
Any further confusion ask me by emailing sarah@races4u.com and I will be happy to help

Sunset 5k update
Following Boris announcement Monday it’s a case of “as you were”.
Unfortunately, we may have a claim to fame as the final race under restrictions so I think we should make it a special one!
However I don’t think it will affect the race format too much. Setting off in waves of 25s in 30 second intervals based on predicted times. Can I ask when entering you enter a true time you feel you can achieve. Anyone entering zero will be entered in to the final wave.
Race Format for Sunset 5k 7pm
Men’s A race Sub 15:30
Men’s B race Sub 17mins inc Elite Ladies
Possibly a C race based on current entries
Sub 20 A race
Sub 20 B race
Further bands in 2 minute predicted times
Beat The Sunset 8:15
Again 2 minute predicted times starting from Sub 20 upwards
Helpful hints to questions put to me recently when entering.
The whole race is Sunset 5k we just have 2 start times 7pm and 8:15pm
Sunset 5k General Entry - Enter YES in that box if you want to race at 7pm and be eligible for prizes.
Elite entry - Enter YES in the box if you’re fast enough with your PO10 link. Sub 14:30 Men, Sub 16:30 Ladies free entry. If you’re faster email me for a package.
Championship Entry - if you want to be eligible for junior/team selection as previously stated then enter YES in that box too
Beat The Sunset 5k 8:15pm - if you just want a decent race and “Beat The Sunset” and go for a PB then enter this one by just stating YES in the box.
This helps me when I’m looking down 500 entries who’s in what race. Please don’t put / X O 1 just put YES OR NO.
