Get ready for the next Mob Matches!!

At a time when we can no longer have club runs or attend races we now have something to look forward to in January/February. Some of you may have participated in the one off Mob Match last year, well now it’s our chance to participate in the whole competition. For those not familiar with Mob Matches they are a series of matches where our team goes head to head against another team over 5km. Every finisher counts and you can run or walk it. Once the match has ended, the results are calculated, and a match winner declared. It’s a knockout competition with Group stages, semi-finals and a final. We are guaranteed at least 3 rounds. Details can be found at the following link:
