Nearly a year after re-opening, racing returns to the legendary
Aston Hill on Sunday 15th March with the Swiss and Swallow Black
Run Race.
The event has so far seen pre-race registrations almost hitting
the 100 mark with and estimated 80 riders turning up on the day.
We are exceptionally pleased with the level of response and
support from all prize donators and sponsors.
Aston Hill Press Statement
"We are excited to have Swiss and Swallow on board as key event
sponsor. Although relatively new on the scene they have already
received acclaim for their range of striking organic cotton T's,
with other products coming soon.
Their commitment to outdoor pursuits on land and water, as well as
their environmental and social sensibilities complement the agenda
of Aston Hill and our partnering organizations."
Swiss and Swallow will be providing prizes to the top three riders
across all categories and will be on site showing their full range
of product. In addition we can confirm prizes and support from Fox
(Europe), Balfa UK, Continental, CycleCare, Mountain Mania and
PinkBike. Dave Francoisy will be on hand to photograph all riders
and will be offering images free of charge to those who want a
memento of the day.
