MWRRL

Since 2016, Arrows have paid fees for any current Arrows member to enter any, or all
of the races in the MWRRL - the Mid-Week Road Race League. There are typically 4
x 10k races run for Division 1 and the same for Divisions 2 and 3 (who run together) that
count towards the league for individual and team. There is an additional 5th race
billed a “mob-match” which is done just for fun for all the Divisions. (Arrows are currently Div 2)

Since we started racing in the league in 2016, we’ve been flip-flopping between
Division 2 and 3 as we get promoted / demoted. Attendance has ranged between 5-35
people with races done across Herts and North London with a variety of locations
from Harlow, Royston, Hitchin and Stevenage. We even hosted a race in
Harpenden in 2019 for over 400 runners!

The races were cancelled in 2020 and then run virtually in 2021 – just for fun! We
have our own Strava segment route as an out and back from Rothamsted Park to
the bottom of the Holly Lane steps on the Nickey Line. The route can be found here.

5k Handicap

Category: Leagues Archived

The third Tuesday of the month (unless notified otherwise) we run a 5k handicap race. Its a lot of fun and because we start the slower runners off first the quick people have to work extra hard if they want to win. We meet at the club as normal but try to be a few minutes early so that we can work out your start time etc.

After the race we either have cake or occasionally head down to the Engineer pub for a bite to eat and a well earned drink. (You can come for / with cake / pub if you didn't run too.)

You can shower at St Georges if you wish.

We run on the Winter circuit from Sep onwards. Please wear high viz clothing. If you can't run please come along and help with the marshalling.

Arrows Club League 2023

Welcome to the Arrows Club League. 

We've decided to re-introduce our internal Club League in 2023 in a slimmed down and simplified format. It is provided to give members a fun and interesting way of participating together and competing with each other in a friendly way.

Members are encouraged to participate in League events for fun and to achieve their own running goals, but also to encourage and support their fellow Arrows.

Its a simple format this year with Arrows able to earn club league points for racing our external league events (XC and MWRRL) plus ONE nominated other race from each distance from 5k to Half Marathon. We've picked (mainly) the closest suitable event to try to encourage a large number of Arrows to attend our nominated races.

This year, 2023, there will be just one League (rather than Road and Trail) with men and ladies each competing for thier right to hold the shields for a year.
