Monthly Club Runs

Monthly Run – What is this?

We have a monthly club run (along the same idea as David Spy’s Big Run). These will usually take place each month on the 1st Sunday of the month at 9.30am and will be open to everyone at the club to take part in (if you can make it).

The aim of the run is to make it a social event getting everyone out starting & hopefully finishing together (although the distances that individuals run may vary) & depending where we are maybe going for a coffee & cake afterwards.

The start points & routes will be published on the club website (check the Calendar and the Training Run posts) & on the notice board at the club house in the month before the run – so if you have any ideas for routes please let Gail Thomas know.

Next Monthly Club Run

The next club run will take place on Sunday 29th April. We are planning to do a 5K and a 10K route starting from Erskine Hospital, running over the Erskine Bridge and back then further for those who are doing the 10K.
The 10K route continues after the bridge with a loop coming back along the Clyde.

As this run is combined with the April handicap, there will be a staggered start so that everybody is finishing around the same time. However it is not as formal as the handicap so runners will be grouped at approximately 5-minute intervals at their own discretion. So you can run with a group or be competitive and do your own thing – you decide.

Lunch will be at the garden centre restaurant and we need to pre-book numbers so that they have enough baked potatoes!  There is a public car park with loads of room. Please aim to meet here in time to start the run at 10am.

There will be a sheet at the club house where you can register what distance you will do, approximate time and lunch options. If you need a lift, put that on the sheet and we’ll see what we can do.

Hope you can make it along & include the monthly Club Run into your Sunday run programme.
