Boxing Day Run For those of you that have been members a while, you’ll know that we tend to do an unofficial session between Christmas and New Year. This year is no different! On Boxing Day I’ll be leading an all inclusive session in Ropner Park, meeting at the bandstand at 9.30am. It’s suitable for all abilities as the reps within the session are all time based not distance based. Hope to see some of you there 👍 Thanks Sam J

SSAC league runs 2024 Hi everyone. Please find attached the planned league events for 2024. Due to the rising prices of events we are using parkruns and smaller local events to keep costs down. Some events are priced, however the most expensive is the Middlesbrough half marathon currently at £30. Events are road & trail with a selection of distances to make it all inclusive. We have included Saturday, Sunday & midweek events; hopefully something for everyone. 21 events but only 8 need completing. If any event is cancelled we won’t replace with another as we have enough in place. You will need to be affiliated if wishing to try out the cross country event. A reminder of each event due will be posted along with the league rules. Any…

ANNOUCEMENT - SESSIONS CANCELLED 30/11/23 Unfortunately we are having to cancel tonight’s sessions. Not only do we have the risk of having icy/slippy paths later on as the temperature drops; we have just been informed by the bar manager that the clubhouse heating system has broke due to the cold weather! Due to both of these factors, the safest option is to cancel with a view to being back to normal next Tuesday. Thanks all Sam J Chairperson
