October News and Schedule

Wow, another month has already gone by, and we now find ourselves heading into Autumn and the darker days. As always when we look back at the month it's amazing what our members get up to, all for the love of running!!

Highlights for September were:

Saturday 2nd September saw quite a few Arrows participating in the annual Stampede event. This is a fun and social event and a great time was had by all. Paul Goodwin was in one of the winning teams, well done.
The next day saw many Arrows gathering at The Marquis of Granby to help Georgie Hamilton celebrate her very special birthday. It was good to see so many Arrows (both old and new) in such a relaxed atmosphere. The food was good and the weather was amazing.
James Chasen, Nigel Douglas, Stephen McKee and Dean Murley took part in the Great North Run. Dean even managed to help his friend achieve the official Guinness World Record as the fastest-ever Ninja!!
Club 5k was run for the first time on the winter course with seven runners taking part. Thanks as always to our volunteers and cake providers.
As always there has been great representation at parkrun. The tourism event took part at Cassiobury in Watford. We even had a dog joining us with Sharon as she marshalled. Thanks to Julie for organising.
Jillian Russell represented the Club at the Leighton 10k. A well-organised event by Leighton Buzzard Athletics. Well done Jillian.
Stephen McKee has been keeping himself busy. Not content with running one event he decided to do two in one day. Firstly, The Last Dual Trail Run in Fife followed in the afternoon by the Linlithgow 10k. Wow, what an achievement.
As always, the Hatfield 5k series was well attended. Race #2 is an Arrows league race so we had 20 members in attendance on what was a very hot and humid night.
We also had Arrows participating in the Stevenage 10k, the Relay Triathlon in Hemel and the Big Half.
The wonderful Audrey Zilliox Herrback represented France in the recent World Triathlon Championships.

September News and Schedule

August was a quieter month for Arrows with many of us taking advantage of spending time with family and friends on our annual holidays (despite the awful summer weather we have been experiencing).

However, having said that there were still some events taking place. Following many requests, we decided to run a track night at KWS, as always this was well attended. We will resume our track nights at Stockwood Park in September (see below for dates). There were a couple of “I run for beer” events hosted by Lyndon. Chas Andrews and Lyndon Hearn ran the St Albans Sixer on the 27th of August. Jillian Russell ran the Stopsley 10-mile trail on the 13th, whilst Anita joined Stephen McKee in the Kirkcaldy Half on the 27th of August. Finally, we had the Club 5k. This was the last run on the summer course on the Nickey Line. We had 8 runners taking part – thanks as well to our volunteers, we couldn’t run this event without you.

parkrun has again seen you running at various locations around the country. parkrun tourism took place at Rushmere with 7 people running. Team McKee continues to represent Arrows running their parkruns in Scotland, they were joined at Auldcathie District by Jillian, David and Amy Russell.

The Hatfield 5k series starts on the 30th of August (see below for more details and note the date of the scoring event for the club league) and hopefully, we will see you at the Club 5k on the 26th of September (we will be back on the winter route).

Don’t forget to enter the Arrows Club League nominated distance races. We’ve got the 5k, 5m and 10k still to run. Entries are now open for registration. Remember to register as an Arrow and use your EA number and ATW discount code if applicable. No booking is needed for the 3 XC fixtures which also count in October and November. Read all about the league and follow the links to book – https://www.harpendenarrows.co.uk/web/indix.php/leagues/364-arrows-club-league-2023.

Lastly - there's a meeting of the Arrows management team at the end of September where will discuss the results of the 'time to start' survey that's been on Facebook here. Please go vote if you haven't already and we'll see what people are preferring and what's feasible. Drop a line to us if you don't use Facebook.

Happy Running for September and until the next Edition.

Sharon & Spiersy.

Arrows Running News and July Schedule

July News and Schedule

The month of June had a very successful MWRRL, lots of events including the talk / evening with Patrick after the club 5k, Bury Field parkrun tourism, St Albans half and others. We also had Isabel helping a crowd join the Street-O event around Harpenden and then Southdown.

It's got to be said that our volunteers throughout our MWRRL, the club 5k and every run night have done a sterling job and it's very much appreciated by everyone in the community!

Would love to say more, but time is short and just wanted to make sure people knew the schedule this month and had a refresh on the discount codes.

Happy Running for the rest of July! Hopefully we see you at the Mob match on 12th and the Club 5k on 18th.

Keep an eye on further notices on Facebook or get in touch.
