Background …. over the last few months the Road Running group leaders of MH&AC have worked to improve the structure of road running within the club to make it easier for new members to join and then to progress to reach their personal goals. Now that the ‘basics’ are in place the group leaders are hoping to improve progression through the groups and to encourage more people to compete on behalf of the club.
The plan is to hold events periodically throughout the year where road runners of all abilities can come along and enjoy running with fellow club members. The events will be designed so that runners of all abilities can enjoy them. By doing this we hope that people will realise that it is possible to progress through the club’s road running group structure and also to compete for the club. The ‘Christmas Relay’ is the first of these events and hopefully we will get feedback so that subsequent events will be even better – why not come along and give it a try!

Please let Anne Farmer (anne1.farmer@virgin.net) know if you are coming along so we have an idea of numbers. On the day please bring your £2.00 track fee and cake/biscuits.
Registration is prompt at 9.00am on Saturday 15th December in the clubhouse.

Note: The draw for the club places for the 2013 London Marathon will take place after the relay.
