Evening all,
Hope you had a great weekend and have had a good start to the week! Here are this week’s key Alchester updates for you.
🏅 Medal Monday 🏅
September is here and after a number of relatively quiet weekends, a good number of members were back putting themselves to the test this weekend at events across England including the penultimate event in the club championships! Well done all even if some of you did receive a medal with the wrong city on the medal! 🙌👏
🏃♂️ Cotswold Classic 10 – Ben Breaker, Alan Bowen, Emily Davenall, Richard Francis (🥈V40), Steph Giles, Polly Hughes, Alasdair Kerr, Annika Lucas, Sarah Morley, Shaun O’Gorman, Steve Welfare, Jonathan White
🏃♀️ The Big Half – Lyndon Hammond, Jesus Romero, Vicky Smith

☀️ 🏃♂️🍻 Last summer social run
The next (and last 😢) summer social run for 2025 is this Thursday 11th September and will be in Stratton Audley – see details below.
❄️🏃♀️ Club Night Changes
The time has come to change back to our Winter venues/routes, so this is the last week on summer routes/venues and winter routes/venues will be used from w/c 15th September.
This means that Tuesday speed sessions will meet at 6:55 for a 7pm start at the railway end of Gavray Drive. Thursdays club run meeting point will continue to be in the car park at the leisure centre for a 7pm start, but the routes will be based around the ring road! Hands up if you’ve missed Gavray and the ring road 🙋♂️ 🙋♀️
👥Committee Meeting
This Friday, 12th September, the committee are meeting. If you have anything you want to raise with the committee or if you have any concerns for them to discuss at the meeting, please either reply to the email or message me or contact Sue Morris by the end of the day on Thursday 11th.

This week’s Club Night Details
In terms of what’s going on at club nights this week, the details are as follows:
Tuesday 9th September
⏰ 18:55 meet for a 19:00 start at the car park
📍 Whitelands
🏃🏃♀️ Lucky dip where the lengths of rep and recovery are pulled out of a bag! All will be explained on the night if you’re not sure!
Thursday 11th September
⏰ 18:55 meet for a 19:00 prompt start
📍 The Red Lion, Stratton Audley, OX27 9AQ
🏃The route is about just under 5 miles and is on mixed terrain, starting and ending at the pub
🔦🦺 It will be a bit of a race against the light, so it may be worth bringing a head torch if you’d like to and ensuring you’re nice and visible!
🍔 🍺 Please do come and stay for food and/or a drink after the run. There’s no need to pre order food.
That’s all for now! Have a great week.
