Club members enter according to their ability, fitness and/or energy. Use this fun race as a motivator to get fit.

MNSC also staffs a drink station, usually in fancy dress. This is another option for less energetic members and a hilarious time is had by all. The drink stations are a welcome sight for the participators so you will be much appreciated if this is your choice.
