Shufflers take on the Felixstowe 10-mile Race

Sunday 18th September saw a group of Shufflers take on the Felixstowe 10-mile Race

Lots of great running from the team, and special mention to Stu Haynes who came 1st with a time of 53:38 and to Ruth Acworth who won her category with a time of 1:20:50

You make us all proud!

Shuffler’s Sports Day

This week was Shuffler’s Sports Day held at Kesgrave Millennium field.

Mark Austin put his teaching skills to good use to put on an exciting evening of relays, trainer tossing, 3 legged races, an egg and spoon race, a wheelbarrow race, a sack race and an hilarious dizzy dash.

5 teams went head-to-head to prove their sporting prowess, and medals were distributed to those who won those individual events as well as the overall winning team.

Everyone had such good fun enjoying something a bit different, and people were able to shine in different ways.

Shufflers Tackle Sandlings 55 Ultra

Sunday the 10th saw 2 Shufflers – Mike Ward and Rob Squirrel ran 55 miles on a blisteringly hot July day!

The route began in Southwold, and went through Sizewell, Snape, Wantisden, Melton and finished up in Martlesham.

Both runners put in a spectacular performance; the heat and distance understandably led to almost half the runners retiring from the race, but both Rob and Mike finished with an incredible time of 11.5hrs and 14hrs, respectively, to raise money for charity.

All the Shufflers are so proud of you both!

The Shuffler’s were represented on Friday 3rd of June on Kingston Field; giving people the opportunity to hear about the antics we get up to as a club, as well as some games

and drills for younger people to have a go at and learn a little more about running.

We were fortunate enough to have some glorious June weather, and the music and food went down a treat!
