Congratulations London Marathoners Well done to the 20+ Chasers that ran the marathon on Sunday! Amazing times all round. Congratulations to Donal Moran for achieving a new V40 club record in a time of 2.40.27. Thank you to the volunteers at the elite drinks stand, and to our cheering squad at mile 22.   The ballot for London 2020 is already open, and closes on Friday 3rd May. If you are thinking of applying for a club place in the marathon next year, please ensure you do enter the ballot as you will need to show that you applied, as well as demonstrating how you’ve contributed to the club through volunteering and racing (details on club places can be found here). Club handicap championship Our inaugural club handicap championship will take place in Highgate Wood on Thursday 16 May instead of the usual track session. It’s 3 laps of Highgate Woods, so about 3.5 miles. The winner will receive universal acclaim plus two tickets to see Bon Jovi at Wembley in June (kindly donated by Donal and Kana).  Sign up using the link in the calendar below.   Kit We now have men’s T-shirts in stock!  They are available for purchase via the store. https://www.chaser.me.uk/news/store.php If you need to pick up this or any other items you’ve ordered already please contact Fiona Carr.
