A quote from the Friends of Sweyne Park Facebook page:
Hi all park users. Below is a message received yesterday for your info:
“Hi. East Essex Tri Club will be hosting a cross country race at Sweyne Park on 11th January. This will be one adult race starting and finishing by Sweyne School. We will be using the perimeter of the park but staying away from the bridle path. The race will start at 10.00am and the last runners should be about an hour.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused to regular walkers, but hope that you will join in cheering , applauding and encouraging the runners. There will be many local clubs taking part including Rockford Runners, Benfleet Runners, Castlepoint Joggers and East Essex Tri.
Thank you for your patience……”
Great to see the park being used for something like this. Fingers crossed for the weather, and come along to the park to give the runners a cheer if you can.
