The Yellow Shirts Calendar
Site Meter
bar
The Yellow Shirts Calendar (YSC) has for many years been the first port of call for Road Runners who would like to take part in local or popular events. The YSC is not just the product of the many race search engines out there, such as:

For UK races: on the Runner's World website. As a 'quick and dirty' cross-check, click on that link just now to see forthcoming events in the Kent area. For overseas races: on the Marathon Guide website.

From this page you can click into any event and understand the past relationship between ORR and that event.

The events listed here broadly meet on or more of the following criteria:

- they are in Central to South East London and/or Kent;
- Road Runners have participated in these races in the last 3 years;
- Road Runners will be participating in them in the future!

Disclaimer:
Inclusion of an event in this calendar does not represent an official endorsement of the event by Orpington Road Runners. Potential entrants should consult the race organisers in the first instance if they have questions about the event. Errors and omissions from ORR club members are excepted but should in the interest of posterity be pointed out to us!
