Hello My name is Matthew Nicholson, I am the organisor and race director of a new road race event in Armagh City, Northern Ireland scheduled for Sunday, 19th April 2009. The event is called the “Run Armagh 10K Challenge”, and I would like to extend an invite to all of your club members to come and join us for what should be a fantastic running event.
We have a great route planned, starting off in the City, making it way into the beautiful apple orchard countryside and returning back into the City to finish on The Mall in the centre of town. The course is primarily flat, so quick times can be achieved for those pace setters and has been accurately measured by the UK Measurements Council.
The event will be professionally timed using individual ChampionChip timing devices – every finisher will receive a race day t-shirt, medal and goody bag. Prize money is available for the winners, along with additional spot prizes. Easy online entry is available via the website, but entries can still be made via post.
All proceeds from the event will go to charity, namely Cardiac Risk in the Young (C-R-Y, charity #1050845), which is a charity close to everyones heart in Armagh, with the death of two local young athletes in recent years. C-R-Y promotes screening of young athletes, raises awareness and supports families who have suffered loss.
I would appreciate if you could pass this information onto your members via your newsletter, mailing list, monthly meetings or whatever means you utilise to contact your members – all information is available @ www.runarmagh.com however please feel free to email/call me if you have any questions or queries.
Kind regards
Matthew NICHOLSON
