Tuesday 1st April - Club Runs

So the plan this week is for the Walk2Run groups to merge into the running groups for their last week before parkrun on Saturday.

Greyhounds / Kestrels led by Cara Zoglowek from the club - Pace 10.30-11.30mm

Greysquirrels / Falcons led by Sara Eden-Butterfield from the club - Pace 10.15-11.15mm

Greyhounds / Eagles led by Tony Waye from the club - Pace 10.00-11.00mm

Hares / Some Eagles led by Margaret Badger from the club - Pace 9.30-10.30mm

Foxes led by Steve Rugman from Chipping Car Park - Trail Run - Pace 9.00-10.00mm

Lions led by Alice Lewis from the club - Trail Run to Cam Peak - Pace 8.15-09.15mm

Leopards led by David Durden from the club - Road Run to Cam Peak - Pace 07.45-08.45

Antelopes led by Jonathan Tudor from the club - Trail Run - 5 Peaks - Pace 07.00-08.00mm

Paces are for guidance only as based on flat road runs so there will be variation.

Please welcome all the new Walk2runners and show them the ropes.

Hi-Viz still recommended for road running as it will get dark towards the end and lights should be worn on the trails as high risk of tripping in the dark!

Membership renewal information will be sent out soon.

See you tomorrow 👍

Thank you to everyone who made it up to the club photo and relays tonight, the weather just about held off, great to see founder members Neville and Barry coming along, and they really enjoyed watching the relays, super running, all the teams ran quicker that the estimated times based on submitted times, just goes to show what we can do when running over shorter distances for a team. Thanks to all who helped make it a success as well timing, set up and take down

It was lovely to see Juniors mingling with seniors and we saw we have some super fast juniors! Support for everyone was awesome, and the post social was well attended, queue for the bar was almost out of the door, the quickest team was one of the scratch teams getting around in c.5:20 with most team just over 6 minutes, with four laps being just over a mile.Same again next year (perhaps a few tweaks!)

A great spring weekend’s sport from DRC, with triathletes, track athletes(senior and junior), trail and road runners all doing their thing, lot of PBs across the board, and some awesome efforts. Congratulations to everyone who was active, even better if you PB’d and if you are Rob Deller basking in the satisfaction of running a Good For Age time for London
