Barrow Runners Mini Lockdown League
We've been invited by West End Runners to take part in a virtual 5k race on Saturday 6th Feb - and we thought why not use this as the first race in a mini Barrow Runners Lockdown League!
So starting from the 6th of Feb - then every 2 weeks taking us up to Easter, we are going to put on 5 virtual race distances for us all to have a go at, ending with a team event.
The "winners" of the league will earn themselves an Easter Egg! (You might have just burnt enough calories!)
Plus!!! For anyone who completes all 5 races, you'll also be entered into a draw to win one of 5 £10 Derby Runner Vouchers.
