Next summer social run
The next summer social run will be on Thursday 5th June and will be starting and finishing at The Butchers Arms in Fringford. We will circulate the menu and sign up sheet for pre-ordering food later this week, so do look out for it.
For those that don’t know, our social runs replace our normal Thursday club run and are in a different location each time, with the routes tending to take in at least some countryside and ending with drink(s) (and sometimes food).
parkrun takeover
Thank you to those who have already expressed a willingness to help when we do a takeover of Bicester parkrun on Saturday 7th June (a week on Saturday). We are still in need of more willing volunteers to enable us to give all of the normal volunteers a well-deserved week off. If you’d be willing to help in some capacity, please reply to this email or message Gleds this week.
Club nights this week
In terms of what’s going on at club nights this week, the details are as follows:
Tuesday 27th May
⏰ 18:55 meet for a 19:00 start at the car park
📍 Whitelands
🏃🏃♀️ Pairs relay – working in pairs, one runs while the other jogs across the field. All will be explained on the night if you’re not sure!
Thursday 29th May
It’s the second Mota-vation race of the series so there WILL NOT be a club run from the Leisure Centre this week – we’ll be back there next week.
Key details for Mota-vation are:
📍 The Cherwell School South Site, Marston Ferry Rd, Oxford OX2 7EE
⏰ 19:30 start – we’ll get a club photo near the start at ~19:15
🎽 Remember to wear your club vest or T-shirt
🔢 Don’t forget to bring your number if you ran in the first race! If you didn’t, then you can collect your number on the evening.
🅿️ There is very limited parking on-site so do car share or use public transport if possible, and get there early (they suggest by 6:30pm if possible).
They also suggest using the Ferry Leisure Centre Car Park or Summertown Car Park (Diamond Place).
ℹ️ If you want to keep up to date with Alchester updates, info and photos from Mota-vation, do join the WhatsApp group via this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/K2RoAWPxkDWFufDKrxFFKe
That’s all for now! Hope to see you this week.
