Incoming message from our team captain:
Now that the Winter Cross Country season is over you’ll be looking forward to a bit of sunshine and warmer weather and also some fun events to compete in.
As well as the trail runs, the famous river crossing (!) and structured coaching sessions, that we hold on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings, we have many team events to look forward to.
Sun 16 Apr – Suffolk Road Relay Championships
Our ladies’ team of Kate, Aimee and Lottie will be hurtling around Colchester.
I’m sure they’d appreciate some encouragement if you’d like to cheer them on.
Sun 21 May – Our very own 10km!
Clearly the entries have now closed for this, but there are plenty of marshalling positions available if you wish to help.
Contact Pat for more details.
