A great turnout from Newquay Road Runners at Meet Your Max this evening, with around 16 club members making the trip to Malpas for a warm summer evening of racing.

The course may have been scenic, but it certainly wasn't easy, testing everyone from start to finish. There were some fantastic performances across the club, plenty of smiles at the finish line, and more than a few prizes finding their way back to Newquay.

A great evening of racing, good company and representing the club. Well done to everyone who took part! 👏🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Another busy week of racing for Newquay Road Runners!

On Wednesday evening, a group of Penguins made the trip to Bude for the penultimate race in the Cornish Multi-Terrain Race Series, the Bude Lifeboat Run. With over 460 runners taking part and proceeds supporting the RNLI, it was a fantastic evening of racing.

Over the weekend, Glyn T and Lisa T took on the incredible Scilly 60%, a unique 42km challenge covering the coast paths of four islands before a final push to the finish on St Mary's.

Meanwhile, Dan H headed to Reading for Endure24, the UK's largest 24-hour relay event. Battling the wind and rain, he helped clock up over 150km around the challenging trail course.

Well done to everyone who represented the club this week. It's great to see Newquay Road Runners racing at events both locally and further afield! 👏🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
