August Schedule
July has been a scorcher for running - starting the month off with the MWRRL Mob Match - thank you to everyone who attended! We also had our Arrows summer social which was lovely to see many Arrows in attendance.
Dates for the diary
Tuesday 16th August, 7:15pm
Arrows Club 5km Handicap, Kit and Cake Night at St George's School
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 Stephen McKee if you can help on the night, or check our our Facebook events page.
ARROWS ONLINE KIT SHOP
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. (email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
10% OFF SPORTSSHOES.COM - AUGUST 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 Sep 2022 has been sent by email to paid up members.
#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 August.
***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.

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.
