24 hour multi-terrain relay or solo race in Hornchurch Country Park. Teams of two to eight runners run through the night, testing their speed, endurance, torch batteries and teamwork. Event starts at midday on 16 July with the first 5.75 mile lap. As a team, you will not stop until midday on 17 July. One runner from each team on the course at all times and runners must complete a full circuit (5.75 miles) before handing over to a team mate. If you're not yet in a team and are interested in taking part, there will be some places available on transfer in existing teams so check first.
Following our survey on the future of Wednesday club run and our trial at Eton Manor Rugby Club, we have made a decision about how these will work going forward. 1) It's obvious from the survey that Eton Manor is a popular base, so in future all club runs except Club Colours Socials will start and finish at the rugby club. 2) Club Colours Social Runs - on the first Wednesday of each month - will start and finish at the pub we're holding that month's social in. This should make logistics easier for those driving or cycling to the run. 3) There will continue to be approximately 8 different pace groups, one for each 30-second range of paces. (8-8.30, 8.30-9 etc). 4) Group leaders can either plan their own route each week or they can choose to follow a suggested route planned by Michael Wilson. 5) We encourage all groups to stick together, so that no-one gets left behind. To ensure this happens, we're asking all runners to be as realistic as possible in their choice of pace group. We're also asking leaders to stop and regroup periodically if needed to ensure that the group stays together. We need to be an inclusive club and we don't want people getting left behind on runs. 6) Eton Manor Rugby Club will soon be opening an indoor area and/or heating outside, so we won't need to worry about freezing our way through winter. The arrangements will be reviewed once Wanstead Leisure Centre is available for use again. Hopefully this covers anything, but feel free to ask any questions. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. It was a fantastic response and really helped us to make these plans.
