The last night of the Proms

Just a reminder that the final race in the 2011-12 Prom Run series will take place on Thursday 17th May. Online entry is now closed but you can still enter on the day at race HQ. If you do intend to enter on the night it would help greatly if you could complete a paper entry in advance and bring the correct fee with you. Entry forms can be downloaded via the link on the Prom page (see link below).

A reminder to WAC runners to dust off the fetching yellow shorts (and swimming trunks). Kevin, please remember your bow tie.
