🏃♂️ 🏞️ Cross Country
The season is almost upon us and it’s great to see we now have 26 signed up (19 men, 7 women) meaning we have enough for 2 men’s teams and 2 women’s teams if everyone ran every race.
It would be fabulous to have even more members take part and enjoy the delights of Cross Country because it’s always better the more people that are there.
So, if you haven’t signed up but you’re keen to get involved, you need to ACT FAST and add your name to this sign-up sheet by Friday 17th October!
♣️🏁 2025-26 Club Championship
With the Buckingham 10k taking place at the weekend, the curtain has come down on the 2024-25 Championship and we are delighted to say that the Club Championship for 2025-26 has been finalised!
The Championship is an annual competition between Alchester members and for 2025-26 it consists of 21 races that range from 5k to marathon distance, with most of them being road races but including some Cross Country races.
Please read the document attached to last week’s email for all the details on how it works, the rules and the races that make it up. If there are any questions, please do get in contact with me.
🏆🥇 Performance of the Year nominations
It’s that time of the year where we need you to nominate club members for the Performance of the Year award.
It’s difficult for us as a committee to know exactly what every member has run this year, so we need your help by nominating members (or yourself) for who you think deserves to be in the running for the Performance of the Year. This is a nomination for a single performance that is worthy of recognition since 1st November 2024 and could be for undertaking an endurance event or for running a quick time or club record.
Please make your nominations here by the end of the day on Monday 20th October – that’s a week today!
