Thetford Trails Summer Series – Race 1

A great write-up by Hayley W:

It was a warm evening in the shade of the beautiful Thetford forest. The first of the summer series trail 10k’s also happened to be Amberly’s first official 10k. She coped well and literally left me for dust after 1k. The course was a lot tougher than we both imagined, dusty sandy hills were a bit of a challenge. The sound of the cuckoo was a pleasant distraction on an otherwise quiet supporter free course. Amberly is now eager for more with sub 50 in her sights.

RntS 5K Track Challenge at Lynnsport

What a fantastic evening and turnout for the 5K track challenge (maybe the first of many?). Over 40 club members attended with 38 running.

Conditions were spot-on, very little wind, not too hot (although it did warm up when the sun came through) and dry. Two groups of runners set off at different times for what, to many of us, seemed a quite intimidating event!

In the end, I found that the time just vanished and it was over before you knew it.

Amazingly, in an open space, GPS seemed a little bit erratic with some GPS trackings finishing at before 5K, with others way past it. But, thanks to working a buddy system where another runner counted your laps, we all know that we did 5K (AKA 12.5 laps!).

Very enjoyable in the end and a good show from everyone with a number of fastest 5Ks in the bag!

Chase the Train and Sublime Swaffham 10k

A couple of running events with club members taking part today:

Well done to Cam who took part in the 8.9 mile Chase the Train run at the Bure Valley Railway (it looks like he did it!). Super running Cam!

A brace of RntS decided to venture almost to the opposite side of the country from Cam to take part in the Sublime Swaffham 10k. Well done Paul and Charlotte. Top efforts all round.

Moonwalk and Race for Life

Well done to Shirley and Nikki who both took part in major fundraising events this weekend.

Nikki in the 10k Race for Life in Norwich and Shirley in the 26 mile Moonwalk in London.

Well done ladies. Fantastic work for very good causes.

Dereham 10 Mile Race

Blue skies and sunshine, very different to yesterday and a lovely morning for the RntS who took part in the Dereham 10 Mile race. (Maybe a tad too warm – it certainly was whilst standing at the 5.5 mile point).

A brilliant showing from the trio of ladies today, well done.

GEAR 10k – King’s Lynn

Usually, it’s not too difficult to herd a bunch of RntS into one spot, but when there’s upwards of 3000 people in a small(ish) market place and around 2500 of those are in running gear, you can’t sometimes see the wood for the trees!

Hence, when the photos appear, you’ll note that some RntS are in one or both of the group pictures, but we didn’t manage to get one of everyone together.

This year the weather was much kinder that the scorching heat of last year (although at points it was rather warm today). Thanks to that there were some very good times from members including a few PBs.

Today also heralded the first ever test of the ‘Full Club Kit, Holiday and Body Bag, Bag Drop Bag!’

ABP Newport Wales Marathon & 10K

Great running by Ceri and Chris P who went to their ancestral home to take part today in the Newport Marathon (that will be 2 in 8 days!) and 10K, respectively. It’s a good job that they’ve been doing hill training (even if it was just to get to the start line!)

Ceri – 5:32:57
Chris P – 56:13
