Change to Championship Core Race

Posted on 16/02/2012 by Marc Bibaud

Unfortunately, the Crouch End 10k falls on the same day (20th May) as one of the club’s major volunteering events, the Lee Valley 10k. The core race for May will therefore instead be the race that came second in the poll: the Watford 10k on 7th May.

We hope that members are able to help out on 20th May – further details will follow nearer the time. Remember that volunteering earns you championship points too!

Sunday’s cross country is also a points earner!!

The March core race is the Sandy 10 miler on 25th March. This race does fill up so members are urged to sign up now at:

or

Three wise monkeys and all that …………………Sunday Run

Posted on 02/02/2012 by Naresh Trivedi
The virtues of the three wise monkeys are admirable but blogging is exempt so get onto the club web site and chat away all your concerns relating to running: www.edmontonrc.co.uk
On Sunday some of us will be doing a long run of about 14.5 miles from Whitewebbs starting at 8.30am There will also be the usual run at 9.00 from Whitewebbs.

Race Report – Welwyn XC

Posted on 17/01/2012 by Rajiv Ratan

Edmonton Running club had a fantastic morning at the cross country in Welwyn. It was cold and frosty but this didn’t deter the 19 ERC runners who took part.

Many thanks to John Bennett for providing excellent cakes and cookies for us afterwards.

Results of the race can be found on the Latest Results Page, and some photos are available in the Gallery.

The next cross country is in Royston on 19th February.

The site is still a work in progress and will evolve as members start to use it

The main features of the site are:

Posts –  News and announcements.
Chat – A space for members to talk about races, training and social events.
Calendar – A place for members to keep track of upcoming events.
Results – Latest results plus a searchable database of all members’ race results.

We have lots of other interesting areas on the site including club info, running routes and much more.

We’ve prepared a guide to start you off.  Have a good look around and let us know what you think.  We’re keen to get feedback so email us if you have any ideas or just want to tell us about something that’s good or bad.
