SAINTS AND SINNERS TRAIL '08

WHERE WILL YOU BE ON JUDGEMENT DAY?

The B Team present a SIX mile trail race from the church gates, Thaxted (between Saffron Walden and Dunmow on the B184)

‘’SAINTS AND SINNERS’’

Wednesday June 25th, Starts from 7pm AT THE CHURCH GATES
Free car park in Weavenhead Lane, 2 minutes walk from start/finish
Entry only £2

Are you a Saint? Then it’s the parish church of St. John The Baptist for you- one of the grandest in the county of Essex, 183 feet long and 87 feet wide, and so beautiful that it may well claim to be the Cathedral of Essex. Console yourself in a post race prayer.

Or are you a sinner? Then right opposite the church is the Swan pub where you’ll get a pint to help you cool down!
