Cold June nights. Breath turning to fog. Legs heavy for the first kilometre, then suddenly it clicks.
Streetlights, empty roads, frozen fingertips, and that quiet feeling that you’re doing something hard while most people are inside staying warm.
Winter runs hit different. ❄️🏃‍♂️

Tomorrow night we hit the track,
No pressure here — just don’t hold back 🍂

For walkers, runners, joggers too,
There’s a pace that’s made for you.

The autumn air is crisp and cool,
Far better than the couch, let’s be truthful 😄

Some will sprint and chase the lead,
Some will jog at “chatting speed.”
Some will walk and catch the goss,
While pretending they’re not already lost 👀

Dogs are welcome, prams are too,
Bring the whole chaotic crew.

And if you haven’t been for ages past,
Come on back — no questions asked.
We’ll cheer, we’ll laugh, we’ll say “good to see ya” 😁
So chuck on shoes and join the fun,
A calm autumn evening and a social run 🍁🏃

I definitely overdosed on chocolate and hot cross buns this Easter!!!

So if you want to start or maintain your fitness journey then Ellesmere Road Runners could be what you are looking for. You go at your pace - the handicap system means no one is last and no one gets left behind. Whether you want to make it your “easy” or “fast” run of the week, that works too.

Bring the kids, the dog, your neighbour or come on your own. It’s a great community to belong to and we are looking for you to be part of it.

Meet at the RSA car park, Leeston this Wednesday.

Hey team I’m really looking forward to seeing you all for a run or walk around Leeston tomorrow evening. It’s also our last Wednesday before Daylight Savings ends.

I’ve heard a rumour the Easter Bunny might have dropped off some eggs for the finish line!!

Go on, you can do it!! Please don’t make me eat all the chocolate myself - and you know I’m quite capable!!! 🐷🐷
