What a start to October with the TCS London Marathon! Eight Arrows took part in the event along with three running a virtual 26.2 miles, and many more Arrows turned out in London to support and cheer on the day.
To celebrate these wonderful achievements, we're inviting all Arrows to come along to St George's on Thursday 6th October and join us for tea and cake, and an optional very gentle social (and mostly flat) 5km Marathon Recovery Run. See the 'Dates for the Diary' section below for more info.
Wear your Marathon T-Shirts, from this or any previous event to celebrate!
Sunday Cross Country season returns with TWO Races this month
Please do come along to run, or support, cheer and bring some cake! Fun for everyone and don't worry if you've never done XC before, they are suitable for all speeds, and every runner counts to the club league position in the season.
You need to have an ARROWS vest or T-Shirt in official race colours (red with white detail) to take part. If you don't have one you can order from the Arrows Kit Shop.

#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 October
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)
