Ipswich Twilight 10k, Cavendish BBQ, RNR.

Dear All,
It has been a busy few weeks with lots of races and plenty of PBs at the Ipswich Twilight 10k. Well done to Phil Crutchlow, James O’Brien and Aden Bell for winning the mens team and Katie King for finishing second female. James was also second overall and Aden won the v40 mens category, these are brilliant results at a competitive event.
Over a slightly longer distance, on Saturday Matt King took on his first ultra, finishing the 50k Boudicca Way from Diss to Norwich in somewhat rainy conditions, well done Matt! And then on Sunday Izzy Hollands, who has been enjoying an amazing triathlon season, finished second in the ladies event at Felixstowe, well done Izzy!!

I just wanted to follow up on the V70 relay team at Ekiden, who not only won their category but also set a new record, amazing, well done to all of the runners in this team!

Round Norfolk Relay
One of the biggest event for the club each year is the Round Norfolk Relay, where we will have two teams running the circumstance of the county supported by a whole heap of volunteers. Ian and I are pulling together our teams for this year’s event and we not only need runners, but cyclists, timekeepers, car support and floating volunteers to help with lifts and anything that crops up. We do have a couple of running spots available or you can volunteer, please do let Ian and I know if you can help or would like to run. Those who volunteer this year will be eligible for first pick of the legs and teams next year!

Club Photos and Videos
From time to time, the club posts photos and videos onto our social media pages and website. If you do not want your or your children’s photo to be posted on these channels the club has purchased red wristbands for those who do not wish to be featured. We would appreciate if you can let us know and then also try to wear your wristnband so your photos are not used. We love to publicise all the fantastic running but we also appreciate that not everyone wants to have their photos or videos shared. The wristbands are now available on Mondays and Wednesdays from the club hut or please do speak with a committee member on the best way for you to collect one.

 

Thanks,
Lara
