Dear Chasers
December has arrived, bringing with it those winter storms, but that won’t stop our Chasers from chasing! Just look at the dedicated crew who braved the monsoon-like conditions on the track this Thursday! Read on for the latest club news and to see how we’re keeping the spirit alive, rain or shine!
🎅🏼Christmas party 🎄
A huge thank you to Jodie and Ellie for organizing an incredibly festive Christmas party last night! The event was filled with chaser shout-outs, club awards, a conga line, karaoke and even a reunion of E17. A chaser night to remember!
Congratulations to our Club Champs
The club champs were held at the cabbage patch 10 and announced at the Christmas party last night. Well done everyone! 💚🧡

Regent’s Park in January
A big shout-out to all the amazing volunteers for the Regent’s Park Winter Series so far! Marshalling is a rewarding experience that not only brings a great sense of community but also earns you a free entry to another race. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to contribute to the club —sign up here to volunteer in January!
Cross country update
Last weekend at the Uxbridge Met League, our team of chasers showed true grit as they bravely tackled the river crossing and made a splash with their team spirit. It was a fantastic day filled with fun and determination—proof that we really know how to "cross" the finish line in style!
Commiserations to those missing out on the Masters XC in Croydon today, storm Darragh prevailed in the end.
Good luck to all those running in the Chingford league Lea Valley velopark on Wednesday.
If you’re inspired to run some cross country, why not join the WhatsApp group and sign up for a race in the new year? Check out the calendar (at the bottom of the newsletter) for the upcoming fixtures.
Tea rota volunteers needed!
A big thank you to everyone who has volunteered for the tea rota, especially the brave newbies giving it a go for the first time! The teas really brew up a fantastic community vibe at the Chaser Club, and we wouldn’t want to steep ourselves in sadness by losing this tradition. However, we currently have a bit of a dry spell, with no sign-ups past December 10th. So, why not consider adding your name to the list? It’s super easy and a great way to chat with fellow runners you might not usually get to know. Let’s keep the kettle boiling—sign up here!
That's all from us, have a great week!
