Club Weekend October 2009

You may know that we were considering going to the Lausanne marathon in Switzerland on 25 October this year for a club weekend. However, it has now come to light that this clashes with another race in The Elan Valley this year. Quite a few of our members will either be running this event or helping out so we have decided to put Lausanne off until next year.

We also thought that with the current euro/sterling exchange rate we would stay in UK this year. We are proposing a club trip to the Great Clarendon Marathon on Sunday 4 October which starts in Salisbury and finishes in Winchester. It is an off raod marathon. There is also a half marathon which starts at the half way mark 90 minutes after the marathon.
There is a relay race over the marathon course with 4 runners each completing 10.5K approximately.

Costs are £23 for the marathon and £17 for the half marathon boith including transport to/from the start/finish. The cost of the relay is £11.50 per person.

I am awaiting further details from the event organiser regarding accommodation and my advices will follow, but for anyone interested please pencil 4 October in your diary.

The website addreess for the event is www.clarendon-marathon.co.uk.

Any queries please email Chris

10.00am - Marathon - 50 Euros
10.00am - Marathon relay - 3 runners - 12.6k/21.6k/8k - 80 Euros per team
10.00am - Marathon relay - 5 runners - 12.6k/7.4k/8.2k/6k/8k - 100 Euros per team
10.30'ish - 30k - Join in the main marathon race at 12k - 30 Euros
10.15am - 7.5k - 12 Euros
9.20am or 9.40am - 4k fun run for beginners & kids - 5 Euros

* Courses are flat apart from inclines to bridges
* Entry fees include T-shirt, gift, timing chip, pasta party ticket, certificate & photo

For further information please look at www.budapestmarathon.com. It may be useful before next weeks meeting to print off the various packages and types of hotel available. On the above web site click on "Accommodation and program" then click on "Budapest marathon travel offer".

Hi all,

Please click HERE for the upcoming Hereford winter cross country league events.
Those doing Amsterdam might be hard pushed to do the first event!

Also, this weekend there is the beach race at Borth and the Presteigne 10k - If anybody fancies doing either please let me know and I'll try and arrange transport etc.

Cheers. Chris

Article for the local press

Hi all,

Jan is writing an article for the local press to try and encourage some beginners to the club. Jan would like to get some feedback from existing members, particularly those who have joined the club as beginners, although feedback from any member would be appreciated.

If anybody would like to give feedback to Jan could you please do so by early next week so that the article can also be included in the next Rhayader newsletter.

Many thanks.

Chris

Hi all,

Well its come around quickly hasn't it!!

The Vrynwy half marathon is this sunday with a 1pm start. For those wishing to travel we will meet at the leisure centre car park at 9.30am so we can sort out how many cars are needed and who can share with who.

For those who wish to have a meal & drink afterwards I have booked the restaurant in the castle for approx 6-7pm but will let them have numbers when I find out how many people wish to go - no need to let me know now I'll sort it out on the day.

Hi all,Just a quick reminder that the club runs this Thursday and next Thursday will be at 6.30pm from Llandrindod Wells Lake. If Rhayader based runners could meet at the leisure centre at 6pm as there could be some runners requiring lifts. We have advertised these 2 nights as beginner taster sessions and we're not sure how many will turn up, but there should be enough of us should there be a number of different ability groups.

Also, the next cross country runs will be Wednesday 18 July at Kinnersley, Wednesday 1 August at Shobden and Wednesday 22 August at Westhope all starting at 7.30. Details are on the board but any queries please contact either myself or Terry. It would be good to put a team out in each race.

Finally, Stafford is doing some really good work in setting up a club website - watch this space!! Thanks Staff.

Cheers for now.

Chris.
