A friendly running club, based in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk.
Much better weather this year for the RntS who donned their fancy dress outfits for the Buxton Fun Run.
Every penny raised goes to Autism Anglia.
A winner in the fancy dress (well done Lucy Mc, fantasticwork and a PB in a box! Excellent running), lots of great home cooked cakes to refuel and a raffle to win a few bottles on (I’m sure we had some winners!).
Well done everyone. Next year, maybe we can all dress up as a group?
Congratulation to Glyn for completing the Tween Valley Ultra today.
65km of hilly terrain (1574mtrs of elevation gain!).
Well done Glyn. A fantastic time considering the terrain. We look forward to hearing about it.
Official Time:
Glyn – 8:40:33
Much (much!) warmer than last year, with a slight breeze (which got stronger as the race went on) but otherwise a perfect day for a run around Snetterton Race Track (3 times).
This year, was the first year of the Marathon (6 laps) at the track, so the runners for this started early and then the HM runners started about 30 minutes later. The downside of this, for the Marathon runners, was the fact that the faster of them came upon the masses of the HM runners at the end of their first lap.
Once again, there was live music around the track and we’re pleased to see that a new Strava segment has been created called the Bridge Of Doom Switchback (for anyone who has run the course, you’ll know that the description for this is spot on!). It doesn’t seem so bad the first time…..
Even with the ‘Bridge Of Doom Switchback’ we all managed PBs. The training must be working!
Official Times:
Mat – 1:34:18 – PB
Paula – 1:49:24 – PB
Mark – 2:07:46 – PB
Hayley W – 2:08:32 – PB
The first event partaken by members of RntS on a busy Sunday.
This one was also first in a couple of ways, first 10k for Angie and first race event ever for Tasha!
Brilliant running by both who thoroughly deserve their medals and t-shirts.
Official Times:
Tasha – 1:02:56
Angie – 1:15:33
Runners-next-the-Sea, Annual General Meeting plus plus.
Our first AGM as an EA Affiliated Running Club will take place on Thursday 10th January at 7pm in the Gordon Barret Memorial Hall, Clubbs Lane, Wells-next-the-Sea.
As well as the AGM, we are hoping to have food, a quiz and there is even talk of music.
Hope to see you there.

Nice work today by the RntS who traveled to Leverington for the George Munday 10k.
Following a two minute silence for Armistice Day 2018, also marking 100 years since the end of the First World War, the race was underway at 11:03am.
Official Times:
Paul – 45:56.5- PB
Cam – 47:49.0 – PB
Kirsty – 58:25.3
Lucy – 1:36:04.7
A perfect morning for an autumn run today.
21 participants took part in the inaugural RntS 5 Mile Beach Race. Let’s hope it’s the first of many. Thanks to Kevin, Evette, Lynne, Ceri, Chris, Lucy Mc, Gill, Libby and Cat for volunteering.
A great route (definitely much easier when it’s not pouring with rain, blowing a gale and when the tide is out!).

Brilliant running by Hayley and Mat in the Fenland 10 today.
Weather held out and a couple of great times were in the bag.
Something we’ve not seen before, as well as the finishers medal, the finishers also got a wall mountable medal hanger! Great idea!
From Hayley: “It really was a great race, lovely flat course and beautiful running conditions. The medal hanger was a huge bonus!”
Official Times:
Mat – 1:08:11.2

After an awful day of weather, it looks as though it stopped raining for the Nightruning In Nature event at Blickling park. A 7km run through the park, in the dark with torches/head torches.

A super turnout of RntS today at the Holt 10k. A surprisingly warm day (Garmin says 13 degrees C but it certainly felt warmer than that!).
A lot of support from non-running RntS and family members which was fantastic.
And, if anyone tells you it’s a flat run, it’s not!
