October News

As the nights get darker, it’s imperative that you wear running lights and/or reflective clothing. Even though most of our runs will take place on roads that are mostly lit, we still need to think about safety and “being seen”.

Any younger members of the club must now run with their parents/carers for their own safety.

See Amazon (other retailers are available) for a selection

SPOND

We’d really like to encourage you to use Spond for our runs  – SEE HERE. Now the darker nights are here our run leaders need to know who they have in their groups. If you are unsure how to use Spond please stay after the run and we can show you how it works.
