Athletics
It's the first athletics fixture of the season this Sunday in Harrow. The long races are 3000m for women at 1.40pm and 5000m for the men’s race at 2.15pm (they will swap over in July). 1500m – women’s race at 3.20pm at men’s at 3.30pm. Click here for the link to the full timetable.
The deadline to sign up is tomorrow (Thursday). Also, please let either Janine Makaronidis or Sarah Funderburk know the athletics events you’d like to do. You need an England Athletics number and a club vest to take part. We’ll have some spare vests on the day.
Track
Good news! We have been able to add 15 more runners to track Thursdays. 8 slots for 7pm and 7 slots for 7:20pm, starting from tomorrow.
Also, we will be continuing with Saturday track sessions except on the "race" weekends noted in the calendar.
Beginners
Yesterday was the final night of the latest beginners course, the first we’ve been allowed to do in a full group of 20 runners since March 2020. A shout out to the amazing volunteer squad including a special thanks to Laurie Boult for all of her hard work organising the course.
Thanks to everyone who has already signed up to volunteer for Summer beginners. Although it appears that all (or most) slots are taken, there are still opportunities and we will always need more volunteers (plus people's plans change), so if you are free to volunteer on a particular night, please comment on the particular calendar event and/or comment here if you are generally interested.
Virtual Pilates Class
On Monday, Danielle Smreczak held the final live virtual pilates class since the initial lockdown started last year. Thank you to Danielle for her time, generosity and effort putting on these fantastic classes! At the moment you can go back and still view old recordings that have been previously posted on Facebook. A simple search for "Pilates" should bring these up. The recording for this week's final class is available here
