Burgess Hill Runners gather for Black Cap Handicap Race
The race, which is over some five and a quarter miles from the car park to the Black Cap trig point and back, sees runners set off in reverse order with handicaps based on previous race times, the aim being that all runners finish more or less together.
Race Director James Sorbie put an immense amount of work into calculating expected finishing times of the 57 runners that took part and did a superb job, as around 40 of the 57 finished within 2 mins of their predicted time.
