September Schedule

Welcome back to all Arrows after the summer break - we hope you've had some time to relax and enjoy the holidays with friends and family! 

September has arrived, and with it the daylight in the evening is slowly drawing in.  With that in mind, it is now time to start coming to club evenings with Hi-Vis, and a head or body torch.

Don't have a hi-vis top?  Why not check our our Arrows kit shop?  We have yellow, pink, orange and luminous green options which will help you be seen on the darker nights.  See below for the kit shop!

Don't have a head torch?  We have another discount code for you at Sportsshoes.com - and guess what - they have a huge selection of running torches for you to choose from!   See members email for the September 10% Arrows discount code!

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)?

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.

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, and speak to our kit secretary, Rowland Hughes. (email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

TCS London Marathon

ARROWS MARATHON RUNNERS AND SPECTATORS

The iconic London Marathon is just a month away now and as usual there will be a number of Arrows participating.  We also usually organise a spectator's gathering around mile 24 on the course, so, whether you're running or cheering, please do let us know what your plans are for the day, and join the Arrows VLM event on our Facebook events page.

St Albans Striders also usually offer some places on their bus transport to the event.  This will be opened to non-Striders from the third week of September.

If you are interested in a bus transfer from St Albans, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to be added to the non-Striders waiting list!

(Webmaster note: Good luck to all Arrows running in the London event and the virtual event too!)

Thursday 6th October, 7:25pm

Arrows London Marathon Recovery Social Run, St George's School

3-4 MILES GENTLE RECOVERY RUN, ALL ARROWS INVITED

To celebrate Arrows participation in the London Marathon, the Thursday following race day this year will be dedicated to a social and 'very' gentle recovery run.  Everyone is invited.

 #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 September

Every Tuesday and Thursday we offer a selection of regular groups including 4 and 5 mile groups and longer trail runs.

Structured training sessions for Speed and Hills alternate every Tuesday.

Track sessions (when available) will be scheduled on Thursdays (venues and dates TBC)

Thursdays in September (TBC) 7:15pm

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

Please note, we have now finished our track sessions at KWS due to the diminishing daylight.  We are working hard to confirm a new venue for September - likely to be back at Luton's Stockwood Park, but we are still finalising our plans.

Once dates are confirmed, they will appear on our RunTogether page.  A further email with the dates and booking links will be sent to all members.

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.
