Hope you have all had a great Bank Holiday weekend, whether that meant time for an extra run or time to put your feet up.
Here are this week’s key Alchester updates for you.
🏅 Medal Monday
There were not many races this weekend as far as I could see. Congratulations to Antony Giles who ran the Berlin half marathon on Sunday. If we’ve missed you in other races and/or you have photos to share, please get in touch with Sarah Morley.
5️⃣ Mota-vation
I can’t believe it is already time for the fifth and final race of this year’s Mota-vation series! You should have received race info direct by email but at a glance:
🚘🚍🚉 Parking is at Oxford Parkway, not on site. Please car-share or use public transport. Race start is at 19:00 and allow 10 mins to get from the car park.
🤔👟🫙Remember to bring your race number and reusable water bottle. There will be a ‘Jog On’ collection point if you have any old running shoes to recycle.
📸 We’ll get a team photo before the race (c. 18:40)
🏆🏅Collect your coaster after the race if you ordered one, and grab a drink to celebrate the series winners at the presentations in the pavilion
