The results for the Regent’s Park Summer Series 10K race and one-mile tenderfoot are listed below. We continue to await the results from Ealing. The last race in the series is hosted by Serpies in Battersea Park, Sunday, 16 August. A fast flat course and a great way to end the season.

SOUTHERN ATHLETICS LEAGUE
There is just one event left in the SAL and we need athletes for track and field events and volunteers to join the team in Newham, August 15. For details please see the club website and register your interest via the events page or email Kelly at athletics@chaser.me.uk

TRIATHLON

PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR CLUB!
The Mornington Chasers Regent’s Park Winter Series is how we raise most of our funds. We need members to volunteer to marshall these races. In return you get free entry to another race in the series. The races are run on the first Sunday of the month from October to March inclusive and we need people to volunteer for October. If you can help, in the first instance please speak with Avril Riddell.
 
For those of you who are on STRAVA, we have a Mornington Chasers STRAVA group (http://15o9.mj.am/link/15o9/kp8k9pp/2/qVGvXh7UEWn08_b5QGVlPA/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3RyYXZhLmNvbS9jbHVicy9tb3JuaW5ndG9uLWNoYXNlcnM). Members can like each other's activities, comment on them or simply see what others are doing. Thank you to Phil Tysoe for the reference.

RACE RESULTS
To include your results in the newsletter please email Andrea (newsletter@chaser.me.uk) with the details. A brief description of what you thought of the race and if you would recommend it to others would be great too, but not essential. There is no need to send results from Club races such as Summer League, Southern Athletics League and Cross Country as these are gathered by the team captains / event managers.
