Romsey 5 Mile Beer Race 2017

The Romsey 5 Mile Beer Race, organised by Romsey Road Runners, is back for 2017 and entries are now open! Our much-loved local road race has been a sell out for the last two years – the friendly marshals, thirst-quenching beer and homemade cake are enough to motivate anyone to get their trainers on!

We are delighted to announce support from local brewery Flack Manor who will be providing the beer, and are very grateful to Hildon Water and Up and Running Southampton, as well as Braishfield Parish Council, the Newport Inn Cricket Club and residents of the village for their continuing support.

This year, the Romsey 5 Mile Beer Race will be held on Sunday 4 June 2017 at the earlier start time of 10.00am, with a new 1km fun run for 4-14 year olds.

Further information and how to enter can be found on the Beer Race page.

ICE tags – essential kit

The club committee is strongly recommending that everyone carries emergency contact info with them whenever they run.

ICE (In Case of Emergency) tags are small printed cards that are printed with your name and an emergency contact number.  They can also detail any important medical conditions that you may have.

Even the best of us can slip or fall, near or far from home, and these tags could save your life – or at least ensure your loved ones can learn your fate quickly…!  And if you need any more convincing, ask Steve Cram.

We have teamed up with icetags.co.uk to offer you ICE tags at a very reasonable price, please see the kit store page for more details.

Looking forward to seeing all the inventive ways you can wear them ;-p
