Christmas runs

Training
There’ll be a couple of unofficial all-inclusive sessions over the Christmas holidays. Thursday 27th - Intervals in Ropner Park. Meet 9am at the bandstand. New Years Eve (can move to Sunday if that’s better for the majority of people) - Social run along the Teesdale way. Approx 7 miles. It’s really muddy and slippery so you’ll need trail shoes! Meeting time and location to follow. Will most likely be doing my own run on Wednesday too if anyone wants another social run.

To give us a rough idea of numbers at each please can comment below, or select an option from our Facebook poll, to let us know which you would like to attend. Thanks all
