2022 GUILDEN SUTTON 10km ROAD RACE
Entries are now open for this yearβs West Cheshire AC-organised Guilden Sutton 10k on Sunday September 18th. If you can help out for what is only a couple of hours at a local event on a Sunday morning, please contact Dennis Wall. The earlier you can let Dennis know, the better β as with all of our races, it wonβt happen without volunteers, and it canβt go ahead until we know that we have enough volunteers to keep all runners safe and on course.
And, If you are running the race, the club does require that you provide Dennis with the name of a friend or family member who can help out on the day.
NORTHERN TRACK & FIELD LEAGUE

Please can club members in the Under 17 and older age groups let team managers Dave McKay, Jenny Manning and Alan Littler know if they are available to compete on Saturday, August 6th, at Witton Park, Blackburn.
