WDAC hosts Quadkids event

Submitted by mmoore on Tue, 15/05/2012 - 19:07

On the 29th May W&DAC are hosting the QUADKIDS tournament at the school in the evening. Steve and Sarah desperately need the support of you all to help, marshal, monitor, measure and support, make tea, Direct etc, the more help we get, the more a professional, organised club we can exhibit particularly towards the younger members. It will also ensure potential errors are eliminated or kept to a bare minimum. Please let us know if you can help on this night.

We are also planning to run through the events of the night on the 22nd of May, so support is needed on this night too.

This is a great way to show your support to the Junior members of the club.

New school entrance.

Starting next week, the 15th of May, we will enter the school for Tuesday and Thursday training evenings via the new London road entrance.
There will be no right hand turn coming from the direction of Tesco, and upon leaving, only a left lane exit.
For those walking or cycling to training, the side pedestrian gate will still be open at the old, Irthlingborough road entrance.

Summer Season Races

NRRL / EMGP ImageYour club Captains, Jon and Natasha, would like to invite you all to join us in two leagues through the summer, the East Midlands Grand Prix (EMGP) and the Northants Road Running League (NRRL).

Each league is made up of 8 races varying in distances from 5k to half marathon. If you wish to compete against the other clubs in the district your race position in your top five races out of the 8 will score. There are prizes to be won in each category. Please see the EMGP and NRRL links for details of the categories.

Everyone runs for their own reasons and some members attend the races to compete, some to beat PBs and some just for the event and experience. Each race is very friendly and every team member is supported by their club.

The races are a great opportunity to experience the true camaraderie that is at the heart of this club.

The added bonus is that for each race you attend you receive an entry into the club ballot for the London Marathon.
