Physics Relay next week

Fellow runners,

To quote Wikipedia: The significance given to the summer solstice has varied among cultures, but most recognize the event in some way with holidays, festivals, and rituals around that time with themes of religion or fertility.

Here at Lancaster University we are celebrating it with the  42nd annual Physics Relay which will take place this year on Friday 21st June. Rules unchanged since the year dot.  For more information and to enter a team go to  http://www.hep.lancs.ac.uk/relay/2019/. Same route as last few years starting from the sports centre and using the woodland walk.

This annual fun run is open to teams of four. The course consists of four unequal length legs making up  a circuit of campus. It is open to all. There are four (alcoholic) prizes on offer, Mens, Womens, Mixed and “Age Corrected”. Enter a team now!
