We may need some people 'run up' to balance our team and give us the best chance of progressing. I'll always consult / persuade a competitor before before entering them in a course other than their allocated one.
Please note that juniors cannot be shadowed if they're competing in the CSC competition.
There will also be White, Yellow and Light Green courses available at the event for runners who are not taking part in the main event.
The club will pay all entry fees for the CompassSport Trophy runners.
