Ashridge 5 Trail Race - Sunday 23rd September 2012 LINK: www.dirtrunning.co.uk Social Run, Sunday 27th November, 10AM, Contact Store for more detailsJoin us for the run where no one gets left behind!! Social Run, Sunday 25th SeptemberSocial run No 6 How time flies. Six months since we opened and we had a great turn-out considering the race calendar meant we were competing with the Oxford Half Marathon, Run to the Beat in London and the Ashridge 5K. Ideal running conditions with overcast sky and a light breeze and whilst no new course times were set, the group finished the course in the quickest time to date. We still continue to attract new runners to the group including 2 dogs and one baby - don't worry, the baby was in a running buggy! This group is becoming a real family occasion. All runners have been entered into our national prize draw to win £100.00 of SUB 4 clothing. Our next run, on Sunday October 30th, will be on a new course, so watch this space for details. If you haven't been to one our runs, why not come along and see for yourself how enjoyable it is. Whether you are wanting to start on a get fit programme, need information about our "Zero to Hero" programme, increasing your training programme or as part of your marathon training regime, come along and get involved. In addition, we can help with advice (or put you in touch with a trained professional) on a wide variety of running related matters from footwear, apparel to nutrition and injury prevention. Why not park outside the shop and run this great 5.9 mile route yourself? Kevin, one of the runners, plotted the route on Garmin Connect.
