Get involved in a fund raising event to make Britain's racetracks a safer place to race
FANCY DOING something good for the BSB scene? And probably spend an evening rubbing shoulders with some of the big names from the sport, too?
As the second round of the British Superbike Championship draws closer the CJ Riders Fund are eagerly preparing for the first annual 'Walk in the Park'. This will be an easy stroll for some of the short Oulton Park circuit or if you are feeling brave you can participate as a runner - be warned runners have to complete two laps of the short track! Like the annual Cadwell Park Cycle Race fancy dress is optional so dig out your Spiderman outfits or lycra suits and join in the fun.
The walk/run will take place on Sunday night, 3rd May after track activity has ceased for the day. Runners will be set off first, from the start/finish grid followed by the walkers. It gives fans the opportunity to walk part of this fantastic scenic circuit and raise money for the CJ Fund in the process. Expect to see riders from all Championships either watching or participating.
This is first of what is hoped to be an annual occurrence to raise money for the CJ Riders Fund who this year are purchasing 300 metres of soft barriers systems (air fencing). In previous years the Fund have provided the medical centre with a mobile X-ray machine, three physios, an ice machine and funded the Air Ambulance at Cadwell Park last year.
The event gets underway after official qualifying on the Sunday evening, at around 7pm and the entry fee is a MINIMUM donation/sponsorship of £20 for Adults and £10 for children under the age of 16, all proceeds go to the CJ Fund and all walkers/runners will be given an official wristband, which must be worn during the event. Spectators are all welcome but be prepared to donate kindly to the various CJ Girls dotted around the circuit. It will be one lap (two for runners!) of the Oulton Park short circuit cutting across from Cascades to Hislop's.
Registration is available on Saturday and Sunday at the CJ Stand. Booking forms and sponsorship forms are available to download from the Events section at www.cjnine.com or by e-mailing carly.rathmell@btinternet.com - registration forms and donation/sponsorship money and booking form need to be handed in at the CJ stand in exchange for a wristband.
