Christmas Party Cameras ready, prepare for flash! Get the red carpet out! The social event of the year takes place tonight tonight where North London’s finest and fastest will be attending the Gipsy Queen for the Mornington Chasers Christmas Party. Tickets are like gold dust to this most exclusive event. Doors open at 7pm   Marathon Places – Update from Phil West The London Marathon has awarded us three club places for 2023. Competition for these has been exceptionally fierce, with many people who contribute an incredible amount to the club applying for a place. We are very pleased to announce that Nick Johnson, Jodie Pearlman and David Nelson have been awarded the club places for next year. Congratulations to all three!

Sign up and information is here Race Reports South London Cross-country Champs at Parliament Hill - 19th November 2022 Venue - Hampstead Heath, a familiar place Who - Brave Chasers, 11 women and 4 men (*foolish?) Weather - Sunny but cool Going - Light levels of sticky mud, good to firm in places Hilly - Yes, yes and yes! The Cross-country Champs followed the London Youth Games on Saturday morning, hundreds of youths really had made a mess of the course and made it even muddier. The start is a manic sprint uphill, a long steep hill, very busy and lots of jostling for position with the hundreds of other runners, elbows everywhere, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the Nationals in February. Gangs of Chasers had turned up to watch the spectacle and provide vital support to the runners, very appreciated! Oh and it was laps, think you only have to do the hills once, think again, cross-country is a cruel discipline. Just when you’ve had enough and want to quit, you get to the top and realise the last 500m is all downhill, and you can see the finish line and hear the crowds. Smiles all round at the finish, job done! (and there were homemade baked goods). Also a massive thanks to Daniel Lewis for taking fantastic photos of the day! Anonymous   Chingford League XC at Trent Park - 26th November 2022 Another XC season and another visit to Trent Park. Hills, mud, woodland, wind, everything you need for a proper XC course. Strong turnout from the Chaser women with 7 runners, but just 2 men, quality over quantity for the men? Maybe. For Chingford league races the women and men run together, which makes it extra hectic and more fun, but does mean there are few Chaser fans in support. However with Daniel Lewis and Jerry Bryan on marshalling duties, and Rob Scott in command of the event it meant that a friendly face and encouragement was never far away, big shout out to these guys. The course itself was really fun; around some fields, dipping down into a long downhill woodland section and into more fields with a decent amount of mud to keep us XC fans happy. Strangely it didn’t feel like we had to go back up this long downhill section which is a first for XC, normally there is 10x more uphill than downhill, at least that’s how it feels. We had 3 women in the top 10 for our division giving the Chasers 2nd place out of the 6 scoring teams, the men finished 5th out of 11 - which was impressive given our team of 6 was only 2 people. Strong performances all round. Andy Davies Calendar Here's whats happening over the next few weeks other than our usual Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday runs.
