Battery Park – will host Junior Road Race battles

The scottishathletics Junior Road Races will be held in Greenock on Saturday 2 April – and we’re looking for entries now from clubs.

Battery Park in Greenock played host to the races for U13s, U15s and U17s last year and the event will return to Inverclyde for the second time.

We are looking for entries from cubs by postal application in time for a closing date of Wednesday 16 March. Entry forms are now available online as well as all the other required information about the Junior Road Races.

Distances on Saturday 2 April will be as follows: 2k for U13s; 4.2k for U15s and 4.9k for U17s.

Please note there is no London Mini Marathon selection element to these races this year – just podium places for individuals and teams and of course club and personal pride!
