September News and Schedule
August was a quieter month for Arrows with many of us taking advantage of spending time with family and friends on our annual holidays (despite the awful summer weather we have been experiencing).
However, having said that there were still some events taking place. Following many requests, we decided to run a track night at KWS, as always this was well attended. We will resume our track nights at Stockwood Park in September (see below for dates). There were a couple of “I run for beer” events hosted by Lyndon. Chas Andrews and Lyndon Hearn ran the St Albans Sixer on the 27th of August. Jillian Russell ran the Stopsley 10-mile trail on the 13th, whilst Anita joined Stephen McKee in the Kirkcaldy Half on the 27th of August. Finally, we had the Club 5k. This was the last run on the summer course on the Nickey Line. We had 8 runners taking part – thanks as well to our volunteers, we couldn’t run this event without you.
parkrun has again seen you running at various locations around the country. parkrun tourism took place at Rushmere with 7 people running. Team McKee continues to represent Arrows running their parkruns in Scotland, they were joined at Auldcathie District by Jillian, David and Amy Russell.
The Hatfield 5k series starts on the 30th of August (see below for more details and note the date of the scoring event for the club league) and hopefully, we will see you at the Club 5k on the 26th of September (we will be back on the winter route).
Don’t forget to enter the Arrows Club League nominated distance races. We’ve got the 5k, 5m and 10k still to run. Entries are now open for registration. Remember to register as an Arrow and use your EA number and ATW discount code if applicable. No booking is needed for the 3 XC fixtures which also count in October and November. Read all about the league and follow the links to book – https://www.harpendenarrows.co.uk/web/indix.php/leagues/364-arrows-club-league-2023.
Lastly - there's a meeting of the Arrows management team at the end of September where will discuss the results of the 'time to start' survey that's been on Facebook here. Please go vote if you haven't already and we'll see what people are preferring and what's feasible. Drop a line to us if you don't use Facebook.
Happy Running for September and until the next Edition.
