Click to visit websiteThe club has received word of a new 10K distance race in Mounmouthshire. Here is the communique from the organisers:
The Great Narth Run. Yes, you read that right – “The Great NARTH Run”. Perhaps not quite as grand as the half-marathon in Newcastle upon Tyne with a similar name that every runner has heard of, but we’re hoping for great things nonetheless.
It’s all going to happen on Sunday 23 June 2013 in Maryland Woods near The Narth - a fun run for everyone aged 9 and over; a 5K race for over 11’s; and a 10K race for the over 15’s. This will be the first year the event has been held; the intention is that it will become an annual event. The aim is to provide a series of races that will appeal to runners of all ages and abilities, and provide a safe and enjoyable day out for runners and spectators alike. All the races are off road on forest tracks.
And to keep everyone fed and watered before, during, and after the races, there will be hot and cold drinks, bacon rolls, and a BBQ.
For details and to enter, please go to www.thenarthhall.com – or email greatnarthrun@gmail.com.
Click to download detailsThis one was brought to my attention by Gavin during our event last week.
In August, over the Bank Holiday weekend, our friends in Ross will be arranging a run from Monmouth to Ross, and they have sent out a general invite to other runners. This will not be a formal race as it is intended to generate feedback and interest, which may in turn lead to the event becoming an actual race.
If anyone is interested in a long trail run that offers something a little different to our normal routes please contact Andrew Person at the email address within the attached document. Alternatively, let Alan know if you're interested and he will feedback to Andrew. Once again, this is just a 'toe in the water' run so club kit will not be necessary.
The race licence has now been granted and entry is now open for the Credenhill Canter.
Scheduled for Sunday 25th August (Bank Holiday weekend), click the banner above to download the entry form if the event takes your fancy.

First up is a plan to take a group of non-runners and get them to a point where they are able to complete a 5K run. His 'Counch to 5K' programme is semi-reliant on word of mouth, so if anyone knows somebody who has considered entering an event please pass Matt details onto them. The attached flyer provides the necessary details (click the pic on the left).
