Sunday, 25th March - Camperdown Park, Dundee; Jenny Wood Allan Races & Sport Relief Mile
Jenny was one of the best ambassadors and most inspirational people Dundee has ever produced - and on so many levels too.
Jenny passed away in December 2010, not far short of her centenary.
In the interval and with full approval of her family, a committee headed up by Ms Alex Knight of Dundee Leisure & Culture and assisted by many of Jenny's friends from the running community, have put together a celebration of Jenny's life in the form of a 6 mile, 3 mile and 1 mile running event in conjunction with the Sport Relief Mile.
This is to be an anuual event which will help raise money for charities dear to Jenny.
Ron McIntosh and myself along with others from the local running community have been at some of the planning meetings on behalf of the Hawkhill Harriers.
The organising committee are now looking for volunteers to help on the day with stewarding, marshalling, goody bags etc and have asked Dundee Hawkhill Harriers [& others] for help.
Can you help? Depending on what you end up doing, you'd be required from about 9am until early afternoon. Fuller details will be issued in due course. Any volunteers under the age of 16 would require to be with a responsible adult on the day. Obviously, some tasks will be suited to youngsters but not others e.g. with handing out goody bags at one end of the spectrum and supervising car parking at the other.
If you can volunteer to help out on Sunday 25th March, please get in touch with me as soon as possible, thanks.
Phil Forte (Secretary)
