On Thursday 12 November we’re trying something new, Champions Chase, and we’d love you to join us. We’ll set off in five running groups and a walking group and go for 40 minutes. Each group has a pacer and goes at a chatty, conversational pace, so all paces are welcome, walkers included. We all start on the same route out and back, with the faster groups turning a little further out.
Each group sticks together with its pacer until the bottom of Turners Way, where you can choose to run/walk on ahead of your pacer and beat the chasers!
Why Champions Chase? Because our 2026 club champions, Alexa King and Paul Burger, give us a head start and then try to catch us before we get home. If everyone holds their pace, the whole club should arrive back together, with the champions right on our heels! If they pass you on the way out, it doesn’t count: it’s only a catch on the way home. Finish ahead of your pacer and you’ll beat the champions, and everyone who does gets a chocolate coin!
Please sign up to your group on Spond.
