WITNEY ROAD RUNNERS

Mota-vation Series

We are again competing in the  Mota-vation series of summer evening races organised by Kidlington Running Club.

All the races are approximately 4 to 5 miles, measured and certified.

As in previous years, we are one of the clubs who receive a reduced entry fee of £20 for the complete series of races in exchange for providing a number of marshals at each race.

All club entries are submitted in bulk through the club, not individually. Completed entry forms and payment should be returned to Ian Fowler on a Thursday club night or to 24 Burwell Meadow Witney OX28 5JQ by April 14th

Payment can be by cash, cheques made payable to Witney Roadrunners or by online banking.

If you paying via online bank transfer please put the reference details for the transfer as your name followed by Mota-vation and put the date and reference on the back of your entry form.

Account Name:         Witney Roadrunners

Members can enter individually after April 14th through the Kidlington website but they will not receive the benefit of the club’s bulk entry and this will cost £35 instead of £20.

A condition of the club receiving the bulk entry and the discounted rate is that we provide a number of marshals at each race.

If you are able to marshal at any of the races please email Ian at motavation@witneyroadrunners.co.uk with the race at which you are able to marshal.

Please note

  • Members must also renew their EA membership before the first race.
  • You may take advantage of the Club’s bulk entry if you are a second claim member, but you must name your first club on the entry form and run in that club’s vest.

PLEASE READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW, AND IN PARTICULAR CLAUSE 8 WHICH RELATES TO ALL RUNNERS UNDER THE AGE OF 18

  1. We will use chip timing again, provided by Tempo Events, and there will be no manual timing. We will also take a manual backup so it is important to continue through the funnel and past our own recorders (and the spot prize distribution point as an incentive…). Individual results are immediately available on the laptops provided. Full race results will appear at https://www.tempoevents.co.uk, usually the same evening – please send any queries to them within 48 hours using their contact page, and also send an e-mail to the Entries & Results Secretary, James Moss, at j.moss139@btinternet.com
  2. Tempo Events will be using a “chip on bib” system. This means that you will be issued with just one number to be used for all races, and it is important that you do not fold it! Replacements for lost, damaged, or forgotten numbers can be provided for a small additional fee (£2 each time).
  3. Numbers will be issued to individual runners at the first race or held for collection at later races.
  4. Your number is personal and may not be used by any other runner. We will allow transfers to another member of your club provided that you have not run in any previous race this year – requests must be made to the Entries Secretary not less than seven days prior to the race.
  5. Please arrive early at Charlton to collect your number. The car park will close at 6.45 to permit runners to assemble in the field adjoining the car park. Please allow plenty of time to arrive in case of traffic problems – we have very limited flexibility to postpone the start, especially if it is cloudy or raining.
  6. We provide free parking at all venues except for the final race at Stratfield Brake. Do not park on local roads out of courtesy to residents (Note Rules 7 and 9 below). For the final race, please use either the Watereaton Park & Ride of the Oxford Parkway Station car park. Charges apply. Both are around a ten minute walk from the venue.
  7. You may take advantage of the Club’s bulk entry if you are a second claim member, but you must name your first club on the entry form and run in that club’s vest.
  8. Please note that any runner under the age of 18 is a minor and must have their entry signed by a parent or guardian, who should also indicate on the entry form if photographs should not appear on Barry Cornelius’ website www.oxonraces.com.
