IT'S RACE DAY!!
We're looking forward to seeing you all at the beach this evening for the return of the Felpham Five and look at this beautiful weather!
Just a few quick points about safety before this evening.
The beach has been checked and as previous years, it's going to be another tough one!
For those who have never run the Felpham Five before, this is a trail race, do not wear your nice new running shoes....😂
As with previous years there are the usual natural obstacles you expect to find on a beach, water, rocks the dreaded seaweed and, as if you need telling sand, lots and lots and lots or nice wet, soft, energy sucking sand.😂
Runners, please remember, you are NOT an Olympic Steeplechase runner, this is not Tokyo 2020, its Bognor 2021, therefore.....
Please DO NOT hurdle over the breakwaters.
Please DO NOT try and run over the rocky patches.
There will be areas you have to walk due to the nature of the terrain, this is the fun of a beach race.
Save your energy for the energy sucking sand and the wind on your way back!😂
