Junior Buffet @ Trail Race

Since 2013 we have put on a junior buffet for all the runners who do the 1k & 3k and due to the support from parents & coaches over the last 2 years supplying donations of sandwiches, cakes, sweets etc it has been a great success.  So we want to continue this tradition for the 2015 Trail Race.  Can you let Sarah know what food donation you are planning to bring to ensure we have enough for the all the kids.

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY

A belated congratulations to our training session on Wednesday 3rd June. It was a year ago on 4th June 2014 we started our new 90 minute training session of 6.30pm to 8pm.

 

Well done to all the young athletes who have been with us for a number of years and adapted to the additional 30 mins.  I hope you have it found beneficial to your running and fitness, certainly as a Coach I have.  It has allowed to me to improve my sessions and do different types of sessions. I am sure the whole coaching team would agree.

 

To the newer members the 90 minute session is only normal to you.  However I hope you are enjoying the sessions and continue to do so.

 

Richard
