Frostbite Friendly League Event (#2 of 6) – Nene Park (Hosted by Bushfield Joggers)

Bushfield (Bushy) hosted the Junior (1.5M) & Senior (5M) events. As with Race #1, blue skies were again very much in evidence, but with gusting winds particularly along the river. Sadly, the Race Director had to disqualify one of the finishers as they were not wearing kit that associated them to a Club. For BRJ’ers that do not own kit displaying the Club logo there are generally spares available, but this may not always be the case so in order you do not suffer the same fate at a future Frostbite of Road Race you should consider purchasing club kit. The range of items available is described on the Club Website (About Us / Club Kit & Leisurewear). If any help is required for your kit selection / sizing, the e-mail link to the Club’s Kit Officer (Anna Best) is:-  email hidden; JavaScript is required
