Summer is the time to put the cross country shoes into hibernation and get out your road shoes. Unbelievably, the Surrey Road League starts next week (Sunday 13th March). For those that haven’t taken part before, these are a series of races over the coming months of distances from 5k to half marathon. Results are combined over the series and medals will be awarded at the end of the summer for overall winners and also for age category winners. These races are different to the cross country races, you enter the races individually rather than the captains doing team entries.
