The last couple of years after York Marathon/10 miler a few of us have gone out for a meal on the Sunday night …. anyone interested this year? Difficulty is not many serve on a Sunday night so thinking of Pizza Express or somewhere at Teesside Park unless anyone has any other ideas - needs to be a central venue and be on the ground floor so no stairs are involved lol! Please also comment if wanting to go to the meal anyways ….

LAST COUPLE OF SEATS LEFT FOR YORK MARATHON & 10 MILER …. departs club at 7am and returns again around 4:00pm - 4:30pm £10 return per person Please comment if interested Thanks Helen

Sunday social run - leaving Ropner Park main gates at 7:40am - plan is do do 13 miles with the last 3 miles being Great Run Local - pace around 10:30 min miles 👍🏻😊

On a busy weekend of running good luck to everyone running at their various races tomorrow ... if anyone fancies a long training run instead we’re leaving the running club at 7:45am to run 20 miles - an out and back along cycle paths to wynyard walkway (I reckon we’ll get to reservoir ish at the 10 mile marker and then turn back to club) pace will be between 10:30 - 11:00 min miles.

Thank you to everyone who supported tonight’s run & talk session. While some may have been put off by the earlier torrential rain we still had two groups do approx 5 miles & 1 group the 3 miles ... with not one drop of rain when we were running ... before heading back to the club for tea, cake and a good old natter. Thank you to Paul, Tom R, Caroline, Angela, Claire, Helen, David H, Cat, Sam, Anna & Lucy our leaders/ coaches for the evening All subs from tonight will be donated to Stockton & Middlesbrough Mind
