Ryde Harriers are hosting a track race series, at the fairway Sandown, as part of the club’s summer series. There will be a track race approximately once a month, from May to September.

All runners are requested to use the free online entry portal to register for each event, so that estimated finish times can be collected. If there are sufficient numbers entered for each event, the plan is to hold multiple races each evening, with each race being seeded by estimated finish time. Entry on the day will still be excepted, but online registration is preferred even if you are not 100% certain you can attend.

The track races are also open to all the island clubs to run as guests, cost is £1.50 each evening for non-Ryde Harriers (payable at number collection), as a contribution to track hire. There are no prizes, just racing for glory.

Race numbers are to be collected from the track side cabin, once you have got your race number, please also register yourself with the officials track side.
