 Embark Open Weekend – ATC Vests with Extra Length – Bike Transport for DBN

 

We have received a new batch of ATC Running vests, which have been specially manufactured for us to be between 2 and 4 cm longer than the standard vests.  The vests will be available from the on-line shop and can be collected from our container on Tuesday evenings before or after track.  We can also bring one to you at one of our other training sessions.  The price is R280, same as the standard length vests, which are also still available.
