    Saw this pop up on UL AC facebook page.

    Timetable/list of events available on page (can't link it at the moment as I am in work)

    On a personal level great to see an open 3k S/C on the cards as they are few and far between

    An opportunity for the boards DMR and if the strength of the 3k steeplechase is varied enough, this might be an opportunity for me to try it out!

    There's also Leevale T&F on the 18th but it clashes (for me) with the Road Relays.

    Looks like a good event. Bit of an open-ended question but what sort of standard would usually turn up for an event like this? Would love to target the 3k at some stage but don't want to get destroyed. I can deal with being beaten but not humiliated!

    Also, why isn't there a 5k/10k race? Too time consuming?

    You'll be fine judging from last years results. The standard is pretty wide in general. The mile for instance was won in 4:2x last year but there was people still coming in near 7 minutes. There was a lot of college athletes running last year but the event was also setup to bring a bigger interest to T+F for people who want to try it.

    I'd highly doubt you'd get embarrassed.
