The AGM of the Hampshire Road Race League was held on Monday the 26th of June. The main item on the agenda was the selection of the road races for the 2017/18 season. There were 14 events on the short list that needed to be reduced to 12. The two new events on the list this year were the Fleet ½ Marathon and the Fleet 10K. The Fleet ½ Marathon is scheduled for the 18th March 2018, the same day as the Eastleigh 10K so if there was a preference for the Fleet ½ Marathon, the Eastleigh 10K would not be part of the league next year. Voting took place and there was overwhelming support for maintaining the current races, so Fleet will not form part of the league next year.
