If we have athletes interested in doing the AAA race events at Marble , Ben Eoin, Martock or Poley please contact the Program Coordinator as soon as possible so that we can arrange coaching. As the coaching costs and expenses will be paid by the athletes attending, the more athletes wishing to attend races not on the WSRC 2017 calendar the more cost effective these races will be.
 
No athlete will be sanctioned to race SX without doing a three day training camp prior to racing in an SX event. This is for safety reasons much the same as Speed Training.
