Club Merchandise As a club we always love to hear from you on what you would like to see us provide in terms of merchandise. It’s always appreciated when suggestions come in and we are happy to explore possibilities. So, a couple of suggestions have been made and I would like to gauge interest before we go any further. First suggestion is we provide sliders. I know a lot of you wear them pre and post runs. The cost is dependant on the amount of orders as it won’t be a product we would hold back stock of. So the more orders received, the less they cost! I have attached a photo of an example. Rough cost is around £22. Second product would be joggers. Again these would have the…

Hi all, Final team lists confirmed for tonight as below. The race starts at 645 for men & 655 for women. I would suggest getting there 30 mins before the start so there is time for a warm up & to get your race number (from me). Club colours must be worn. I will be there roughly an hour before to enter our teams & collect race numbers. Please bring your own pins if you can, I will try and get some from Race HQ but don’t think they usually have many so best to bring your own. I suggest meeting at the benches near the start like last year (next to the temple). If you haven’t taken part in this event before, just follow the crowds walking and you…
