Staffs Knot 2020
Due to covid-19
virtual race on 15th to 19th September 2020
We have decided that this year’s Staffs Knot 5 will be a VIRTUAL 5 mile race and still qualifies as an official NSRRA challenge race. This event is part of Harriers Challenge 2020 and part of NSRRA 2020 race series.
Entrants have a 5-day window to complete their run. Tuesday 15th Sept to Sat 19th Sept.
Entrants can run anywhere, flat courses are acceptable but we ask please avoid all downhill and must be continuous.
Evidence of your run can be emailed by midnight Monday 21st Sept.
Results will be published a few days later.
A special Staff Knot 5 race memento will be posted to entrants post-event.
STAFFS KNOT 5 – Race Memento – A Useful Stretchy Wrist Wallet
The race is open to all and if in NSRRA you will be allocated points as normal.
It would be nice if you send your finish line selfies to Bryan Dale (bryan714@virginmedia.com)
Entry will be £10 via Entry Central
The real Staff Knot 5 will hopefully be back @ Marquis Drive on Cannock Chase in July 2021

Due to a marshalling error, the race results cannot be relied upon for the purposes of prize giving, course records, or the NSRRA league. Under the circumstances we have withdrawn most of the tables that we usually list for interest and have removed the rankings from the Finishers’ list.
The Fun Run had no such issues and the results for this can be seen below in full.
