Athletics: Northern AC announces new winter run series

It's after Ramsey Fireman's Runs Series was cancelled

Northern AC has announced the creation of a new athletics series following the cancellation of a popular event earlier this year.

The 'winter run series', hosted by Manx Vehicle Auction, will begin on Tuesday, 1 November and will consist of one event per month.

It comes after the club confirmed last month that the popular Ramsey Fireman's Runs Series would no longer take place.

That previously took place each year with monthly contests between October and March.

Northern AC adds the new winter run series will take place in a similar format with two races - one of which over one lap and another over three laps.

Race dates will be 1 November, 6 December, 3 January 2023, 7 February 2023 and 7 March 2023.

Further details are also available via the Northern AC website.
