Running Venues for this week.

Jeffers –St Katherine’s car park

Gentle Joggers – Primary School Car Park

Easy Runners – Swimming Pool Car Park

Runners – Homebase Car park

Sprinters – St Katherine’s Car Park

When you meet up to  run, please remember to maintain a social distance.

We have 2 groups at Gentle Joggers and  Easy Runners pace.  One at Runners pace  but with a leader available if there are people on the reserve list this week.

Obviously putting on more groups does stretch our lead runner numbers so if any of you would like to volunteer to lead a group – whether as a regular leader or just occasionally, please talk to either your lead runner or let me know and we can fill you in on what  the role entails.

Lead Runners for this week are:-

Sprinters – Kate Elkington

Runners –  To be confirmed

Easy Runners – Chloe Brown and Helen Keegan

Gentle Joggers – Tony Saunders and Denise Wright

Jeffers – Catherine Every

Sign up for Club runs

There is a limit to 5 runners plus a leader for each group with the exception of the Fast group which is 6 runners in total (no leader)

If, after signing up, you find that you can’t run on that night, please remove your name so that others can sign up.

If you could sign up by Monday evening, that will allow our Lead Runners to see who is in their group.

Please read our Risk Assessment and guidelines to Runners which can be found here.

Races

On 24th October, there is the Dymock Virtual 10K.  There are 150 places available.

https://www.runbritain.com/RaceDetail.aspx?eventid=74bd0ccb5963&raceid=7cba09ce5968

There are also some ‘real’ races taking place as well now.

Hereford Couriers are also putting on their Xmas race again on the 28th December. https://herefordcouriers.com/club-races/christmas-10k/

This is a lovely but undulating course and gets those Christmas cobwebs blown away.

If you know of any other races taking place, be it Virtually, as time trials or actual races under the new guidelines, please let me know so I can add them to the newsletter.

As yet, I haven’t heard anything about the Winter Cross-Country series.

 

As always, contributions (photos, articles etc) are welcome for the newsletter.  Email anything to me at helen@greendawnaccounting.co.uk
