Wilkies Classic coming soon

The course for both will be the same as previous years, along the cycle path by the River Foyle at Brandywell.

The 5 mile run is an accurately measured, flat and fast course which will appeal to both the serious runner and fun runner who would like to measure their progress over a fixed distance.

The course records are held by Gregory Roberts 25 minutes and 30 seconds, male category and Cathy McCourt 30 minutes 04 seconds, female category.

Registration for the event opens at 6pm at the Long Tower Youth Centre which is beside the Brandywell Stadium. Both the walk and run will be set off at 7.30pm along the traffic free routes. Please allow 15 minutes to walk from the youth centre to the start area along the cycle path.

Entry fee of £8 will include a tee-shirt for the first 120 to enter and a goody bag for all entrants. Prizes will be awarded for the categories in the run only. All money raised will be distributed between three local charities.
