Aly Northedge - 1st Sept 2018

Four Arrows at the inaugural Bedford Twilight 10K this afternoon - three running (myself, Geraldine Carrie, and Sharon Neely) plus Arrows support crew  Julie Horrocks whom reluctantly decided not to run whilst nursing an injury (very #sensible).

The course is multi-terrain with a mixture of gravel path, road and grass, and numerous foot bridges which add some bounce, but all in all a good flat 10K with a few interesting things along the way.

As part of a weekend of running, the Twilight 10k will be followed tomorrow with the Bedford Half Marathon. The race village was well stocked today with a decent selection of food and drinks stalls - wood fired pizza was a winner for me (pre and post race  ).

Arrows on Tour at Inverness
By Stephen McKee

Planes, trains and automobiles were in action getting 6 Arrows to Inverness for the Loch Ness Marathon and 10k. Team McKee, Team Russell and Lyndon arrived on Friday in time for parkrun on Saturday taking advantage of the slightly later start for an extra 30 minutes lie-in. Rhona marshalled while the rest of us jogged round a flat, grassy 2.5 lap course which was adjusted slightly due to the Expo being set-up on part of the course. Nice run but the flat terrain provided a false sense of security ahead of the Sunday routes. A brief visit to a small, compact but well stocked Expo which left David a few pounds lighter; the 20% discount on garmin products being too tempting for a Scotsman. A pleasant meal Chez McKee followed in the early evening providing sufficient carbs to get us through the next day.

July 2018

TWENTY FIVE members of the Harpenden Arrows running club tested their limits this weekend and competed against teams from around the country at the annual 24 Hour Conti Thunder Run.

The team of various abilities camped with their families while taking part in the event.  Some ran ‘solo’ to attempt to run further than they ever have before, and others ran as part of a team to complete as many laps of the 10 kilometre course as possible in 24 hours.

Two teams of five and one team of eight completed in a field of 2,000 runners.  All participants completed at least one lap of the course, with four pushing their limits to run an incredible 100km each.

Harpenden Arrows Clean Up!

A running club brought the Swedish concept of 'plogging' to their community on Sunday Plogging originated in Sweden in 2016 and fuses the Swedish terms 'plocka upp’ and 'jogga’, meaning 'picking up’ and 'jogging’. Harpenden Arrows added rubbish sacks and gloves to their usual kit of energy gels and water bottles when they went out on a trial run on Sunday at 9am.
