London Marathon Are you running the London Marathon this year?  If so, let us know what you’ll be wearing and what time you think you might finish in so that we can look out for you and give you a big cheer!  Email your details to emmahayward@hotmail.co.uk.  If you’re not running, why not come along and join the cheer squad?  Details will be in the newsletter nearer the time.  Spring marathon fundraising Chasers founder member Mansour will be running the London Marathon in aid of Kisses4Kids, who help young children and teenagers while suffering with long term illness and to create a more relaxed area for teenagers and young children while in hospital, to send families for day trips and to donate memory boxes.  Sponsor him here.  Amy Hadley will be running the London Marathon as part of Team BT for the NSPCC.  If you’d like your fundraising to be included in the newsletter, please email the details to newsletter@chaser.me.uk before 15 May.  If you do then not only will you be advertising to a whole load of potential sponsors in your fellow clubmates, the club itself may also consider making a donation to your chosen charity.  Chasers kit You can now buy Mornington Chasers technical t-shirts, hoodies and spare or replacement vests from the online store.  Pay online, print out your receipt, and present it to Fiona Russell (kit secretary) or any other committee member to exchange for your item.

The scenery was breathtaking, snaking along North Devon's rugged coastal pathways with sheer drops into the sea below. We crossed streams, fields and woodland. With 2694ft of ascent on the half marathon, it's not a route for a PB or for anyone with acrophobia! A great reminder of how beautiful Britain is. – Lucy Fox Calendar Here's whats happening over the next few weeks other than our usual Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday runs.
