CHARITIES
Huncote Hash
The Huncote Hash was started back
in the mid 1980’s after an initiative by Mr Ted Toft (Leicestershire &
Rutland AAA) to return to ‘back to basics’, low cost, no prizes Cross-Country
racing.
Of the 4 races that were created, the Huncote Hash and the Wreake Stomp were
the most popular and are still enjoyed today.
The Huncote Hash takes place on the last (or sometimes first) Sunday of the
year. The race takes in local footpaths around the Huncote Leisure Centre, a
climb over Croft Hill and the odd skirmish into the stream. Entries are taken
on the day, but advance entries are also welcome.
Everyone receives an equal prize of Soup and a roll and the satisfaction of
battling the elements.
Entry forms available here from Nov,
although entries taken on the day.
HHAC 10K
Run in late June, this club race
takes in the countryside of Thurlaston, Potters Marston and Huncote.
Run as a handicap, cleverly worked out so if all run to form we finish
together. Well that's the plan. Good fun and rounded off with a BBQ and prizes.
