JK 2009 : Northumbrian Hills

10th - 13th April 2009

Entries

Pre-entries are now closed. You can view individual entries here and relay entries here.

Dogs

We regret to have to announce that there must be NO DOGS (even in parking fields) on Days 2, 3 & 4. This is prime sheep country and lambing time. No matter how well controlled you dog is, we cannot run the risk of them disturbing nearby animals, on which the landowners depend for their livelihoods. Parking officials will turn away vehicles with dogs.

Elite competitions

Elite competitors (M/W18-20 and M/W21) will have a Sprint race on Day 1, a Middle race on Day 2 and a Long race on Day 3. Entries may be restricted; those that are not ranked in UK Cup 2008 or FCC 2008 should provide evidence of eligibility to compete. The Middle race (which is the same for 18E, 20E and 21E) and the 21E Long race are both World Ranking Events. All three individual days are UK Cup and FCC races.
