English Schools Fell Running Championships, Sun 6th October

Well done to all those that represented their schools at these very-high standard races at Giggleswick on Sunday 6th October.  Thanks also to all those that helped out by marshaling, helping out with catering or in any other capacity.  The weather stayed fine despite the adverse forecast although the courses were slippery and muddy in places.

Alternative “Social Run”  for Year 8 + Juniors 

From Tuesday 17th September, we will be offering an alternative training session for juniors in school Year 8 and above on Tuesday evenings.  In addition to the existing session geared predominantly for those preparing for competition, there will be an alternative 2 to 3 mile “social run” for those less competitively inclined or new to the sport etc.  All year 8+ juniors will warm up together at 5.45pm, then divide into 2 groups around 6.00pm for their separate activities before coming together again at the end of the session.  The social runs will be accompanied by at least 2 adults (coaches, assistants, parent volunteers).  If you know of any children in this age-group (not already in the club), who might be interested in joining these social runs, please do ask them to contact Andy (a free try-out session can be arranged before they commit to joining the club).
