GUCR 2014 will begin at 6am on 24th May

The date for the Twentieth Grand Union Canal 145 mile race has been set. Intending entrants should email dickjan@talk21.com before 31st October to receive an entry form on 1st November. Click on blue heading for more

In the hope of getting 100 starters for the 20th anniversary race, I will accept 60 unsupported (tended by us) and 60 supported entries (with their own helpers) drawn from a hat on 8th November. There will be a further 30 "Golden Ticket" guaranteed places for those considered worthy. (They should know who they are!)

Please note that, although I am delighted that many competitors raise large sums for charity, luck of the draw decides who gets a place, not who has the most worthy cause. Therefore, I ask that you do not list your reason for applying, either in your email or on your form, because it weighs on my conscience. All that is required is a desire to "have a good bash at it".

Thank you for reading this far, Dick.
