July Schedule

MWRRL race 4 concluded on 30th June, but there's one last chance to join in the fun with the Mob Match on Wednesday 6th July.  It's just for fun, not for points and will meet in Welwyn Garden City.  Additional marshals, helpers or cake bakers appreciated.  Please check out our Facebook events page for more info, or get in touch with Simon Speirs, Isabel Green or Steve Green.

Below is the start line at Race 4 in Royston - thanks to Peter Thornton for the great photo!

ARROWS ONLINE KIT SHOP IS OPEN!!!

The club committee are delighted to announce the launch of a new range of club kit which can be ordered directly from our new supplier, iProsports.

The club shop can be found here:

https://www.iprosports.co.uk/ club-zone/harpenden-arrows/

The range of available kit includes club vests and t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, caps, beanies, and a new line in colourful hi-viz t-shirts bearing the club logo.

All kit can be personalised with names or messages on front, back or both – so no more melting your t-shirt trying to iron on wonky letters (or was that just me)?

To celebrate the launch, all current club members are entitled to a £5.00 discount on kit, by applying a code which has been sent to all paid up members.  The code is valid until 1st October 2022, and can only be used once.

We look forward to seeing you all sporting the new kit at a club night or event soon!  The range can be extended to include other club-branded items, so if there is anything you would like to see included in future, please let a committee member know.

If you would like to see or try on any of the kit samples, please come along to our monthly 5km, Kit and Cake night on 19th July, and speak to our kit secretary, Rowland Hughes.

10% OFF SPORTSSHOES.COM - JULY CODE

If you haven't found what you want from the Arrows online kit shop, we have secured a 10% discount code specifically for Arrows, plus there's free shipping for orders of £30 or more from www.sportsshoes.com.  

This is redeemed via a unique discount code, which will be changed each month.

Please do not share the code with non-members.  Any Arrows in receipt of the code must not share it on social media or any public websites.

Sportsshoes.com is very keen that Arrows don't leak this unique Arrows code.  Mis-use in the past by other clubs has ultimately resulted in those clubs missing out on future codes.

This month's code valid until 2nd August 2022 has been sent by email to paid up members.

Hosted by Stephen McKee

It's been three long years since we had an Arrows summer drinks party. Loads has happened since then and we have a lot of new members to welcome.  Our usual venue, Bistro Gautier, is no more, so this year's party will be at The Inn on the Green.

All members and families are invited to join us on Sunday 17th July at 2pm to 5pm. Come and join us to meet your fellow Arrows.

You can drop in at anytime and enjoy a drink or two and have some food if you choose.  All members will receive a free drink of your choice on arrival, excluding cocktails. Otherwise, it's pay as you go!!

Hope to see lots of you there on the 17th.

SUMMER COURSE - NICKEY LINE

This is your monthly chance to get together with fellow Arrows, run a timed 5km, and afterwards join us for tea, cake and a chance to buy or order Arrows kit. We will have a selection of samples to look at and you can order via our kit secretary, Rowland Hughes.

Cake bakers and marshal volunteers - please get in touch with Aly Northedge or Simon Speirs if you can help on the night, or check our our Facebook events page.

#JustTurnUp - St George's runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays

If you want to attend any of our regular run groups at St George's, please #JustTurnUp on the night.  No pre-booking is required for our regular runs from St George's. 

We will also always adapt any run groups to those that turn up on the night, or if possible form additional groups to suit varied paces.  Nobody will be left behind and we operate a *looping policy if we happen to have a wide pace range in the group. 

*That means that faster runners are asked to loop back to keep the group together.

Club timetable for June.

***Regular 4 mile, 5 mile and 5km sessions weekly***

Informal trail runs and faster 10km groups will be available depending on run leader availability, and on who turns up to run.

Structured training sessions weekly as per below:

Tuesdays in June (except 19/07), 6:30pm

Any pace 5km, Rothamsted Park, outside Eric Morecambe building

Weekly 5km at any pace to suit the group.  In and around the Rothamsted Estate on peaceful trails and quiet roads.    #JustTurnUp.

Thursdays in July (fornightly) 7:15pm

KWS Track Night, structured speed interval sessions with coached drills and warm-up

Please check your inboxes for the separate email about track nights at KWS - sent out previously in May. 

Booking links will be released the week before the scheduled session.

Please pre-book before attending.

This helps with admin on the night, and ensures that we can anticipate how the session might need to be adjusted according to numbers and pace ranges.

Track Night at KWS - Please pre-book (via link sent in members email)

Could you be a run leader?

If you're good with a route or two, and would like to lead runs for Arrows, please let us know!  We are always looking for more people to join our core team, either as occasional helpers or as regular run leaders.  

If you're interested in leading please email rungroupbookings@harpendenarrows.co.uk and ask for more info.

Stay safe everyone, and stay well!

Thank you for supporting your club. If you have concerns or suggestions please get in touch.
