The usual questions before this saturdays race. Where is the sea scout den, bull rd or causeway rd?. What the course like, is it an out-and-back run or laps of a circuit?

Noob alert: I've never run a BHAA race before, can you go down on the day and resgister? How much does it cost?

Scout Den is at the end of the Bull Rd
