Midlands Race

Start / Finish 

Start/finish and race control is the CCF drill-hall at Denstone College, located in the village of Denstone in Staffordshire.

Teams are responsible for their own transport to & from Denstone.  Despite ample parking at the college, getting hold of a minibus or people carrier for the weekend would be a good idea.

Midland Afternoon Food

Ongoing simple hot food will be available throughout Saturday afternoon.  The food is free to all race participants, however, there will be a charge of £20 per head for non-participants.  If this has not been paid with entry fees, it will be collected at the time.

Midland Prize-giving

The organisers should be delighted if all teams would join them for prize-giving at Denstone College between 16:00-17:00 on the Saturday afternoon.

Midland Accommodation

The organisers can guarantee that you will be in need of a good scrub by the end of the event – hence we strongly suggest that you arrange comfortable accommodation for Saturday night so that you can grab a hot bath before enjoying the evening meal and prize-giving.
