Registration:   Old Jadaf Nurseries behind Al Wasl Hospital

The Creek Hash House Harriers are once again conducting their annual “Creek on the Creek” Relay Race.  The route will be identical to that of last year. It is still not possible to run the complete circuit due to the ongoing construction activities around the south end of the Creek. 

This year the race, as last year, will start and finish at the open ground located behind the old site of the Jadaf Nurseries.

The race is open to all Hashes, Running and Sports Groups as well as individual teams, but will be limited to a maximum of 50 teams of four.  Teams wishing to be considered for the prize must have at least one lady member although there will be some fun categories depending on the number of entries. 

There are a total of 8 stages with each team member to run 2 stages.  A team vehicle will be required to ferry team members between stages. Stage lengths vary from 3.5 to 6.0 Kms.

There will be 2 main prizes for the team finishing nearest to their predicted time and the fastest team as well as some others as mentioned above. 

We will attempt to marshal runners through the tricky parts of the route.  However copies of the route mark will be distributed at the briefings held at the Start/Finish area.

Teams are required to register in advance. Team registration must be submitted “on-line” before the Tuesday prior to the event.

Costs are Dhs.200/- per team and will include a vest for each runner.

Allocations will be made on a first come first served basis. 

Payment for each team can be done on the race day. Collection of registration fees and registration can be undertaken between 9000 – 1000 hrs.   

BBQ snacks, i.e. hot dogs, burgers, softies and limited beverages will be available for runners and guests afterwards.

To try to get teams finishing close together, start times will be staggered.

Teams predicting 3 hrs. or more to start at 1000 hrs. 

Teams predicting less than 3 hrs. start delayed by number of minutes under.

All details are available from the Creek Hash Website. Further details from Ian Browning mob: 050 4515847.
