Important Update – Please Read

Starting this week, we’ll no longer be reading out the route on club nights. But don’t worry – you’ve got a couple of easy ways to stay on track:

  1. Check the route in advance via the newsletter, WhatsApp, or Facebook group.
  2. Visit our new information point on the night – you can read the route there, take a photo, or scan a QR code to download it to your phone or sync it to your watch.

    Please make sure you and your running mates know the route before we head off – let’s all help each other stay safe and enjoy the run!
 

Just 3 weeks to go before our Summer BBQ – Wednesday July 23rd

A lovely run, food and informal awards from the Royal Oak at Blisworth.

Rob has been out this weekend, checking the routes, and guarantees us no nettles this year!

The Monthly Meet-Up

We know life gets busy, and as our club grows, it can be hard to remember all the new faces. Plus, it’s always nice to catch up when we’re not out of breath on a hill!

That’s why we’re launching The Monthly Meet-Up — a chance to relax, chat, and connect on the first Wednesday of every month, right after the club run at The Waterside Bar.

Whether you’re new, a regular, taking it easy walking the trim trail, or currently injured, we’d love to see you!

Can you help with the Newsletter?

Would you like to help with writing this newsletter? It doesn’t have to be a regular commitment, but we would love to get more articles from all of you. It could be about a race you’ve done or are doing, a training or injury recovery plan you have found useful, how to get the most out of your Garmin, a review of your favourite trainers, or anything else that you think would be interesting to other club members.

If you would like to submit an article, please send it to secretary@northamptonroadrunners.co.uk
