We are hoping Sevenoaks will enter a team again for this event!
After the success of the event last year, we are doubling the maximum number of teams for 2024 from five to ten. Teams must have between four and eight runners with at least one lady per team. For 2024 all runners will receive medals, and there will be trophies for the fastest team, and the fastest men’s and women’s mile. Team costs, to cover the cost of medals and trophies is £25/team.
Arrival at 8:30am for a 9am start. The first runner starts the first leg at the 200m line, and the first runner will complete 5.5 laps before handing over to the second runner at the exchange point, which is just before the normal start line. All other legs will be four laps. In total there are 26 legs, so a team of four would see most runners do six legs, with one doing seven, a team of eight would see most runners only do three legs, with one doing four. Runners do not have to complete legs in any strict order. Each team will be responsible for recoding leg times for their runners. Non-running supporters are welcome to come along. Parking is at Putlands Leisure Centre across the field from the track, TN12 6NZ. For further information and the register your team, please contact
Thank you

Dear KFL runners,
It was a pleasure taking photos for my own club, Canterbury Harriers, at Betteshanger Park and in the process I got some of your clubs too, seeing how many of you were putting on a brave or happy face for the camera. Maybe you are in the pictures here... ...
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOWNLOADING YOUR PHOTOS:
Using your computer rather than tablet or phone for an easy download experience is recommended for reasons of download size (509 MB when unzipped) and to see the pictures at a larger size.
1) Click on this link which will take you to my WeTransfer website - it has a cover page of changing seaside pictures if you are on a computer.
2) Enter this password in the box: crosscountry (all small letters) and then click CONTINUE.
3) Now you can click PREVIEW to choose your pictures to download OR I suggest just click DOWNLOAD to see the whole race. Be patient as there are 230 photos to download — it takes 2-3 minutes; maybe pour a Christmas drink meanwhile...
4) When the download is complete you will find a folder named hooley_kflbetteshangerparkphotos_2021-12-18_1420 in your downloads folder (or other usual download location). Open the folder to view the photos in your usual way on the computer. Viewing them in a slide show set to change every 2 or 3 seconds works well and makes it feel like you're back in the race!
Happy Christmas. Any problems please contact me as shown below. All photos are free of charge but please give me a credit if sharing online with others. The download link is valid for 4 weeks.
