February News

📰 February News📰 

 

The shortest month of the year however we managed to cram a lot in.

Our Beginners group reached the mid point of our 12 week course. All our regular sessions are back on along with a new Sunday session giving members the options of different distances and pace between our two runs.

The 10th May was announced as the date of our club 5k,10k and family mile. Full details and booking info to follow soon. 

TRC went international as we were represented at two half marathons by Gemma in Barcelona and Jesse in Naples. 

We held our second track night at London Marathon Community Track with 10 members on the circuit. Thankfully it was a lot drier than our previous visit.

parkrun Will continued with his tourism streak this month with visits to Roding Valley, Billericay, Canterbury, Maidstone River. Others trying to follow his lead include Remi - Castleford Park, Bishops Stortford, Tony and Danny - Bromley and Gemma Valentines and Victoria Dock.

 

Patty, Kathryn, Rachel and Yat ran the Tracksmith 100 days to London Marathon run

A number of our members ran the CRUK Winter Run a fun 10km event on closed streets of central London with plenty of sights and sounds on route. Entries for next year are already open.
