Hi all – please find information about next week’s club runs below.

 

Welcome to new members Natalie Rhodes and Julie Lambourne: happy running with Beeston AC!

 

The Trent Lock Handicap! The Trent Lock Challenge (10.3 miles or 16.6K) will be held on Wednesday 18th August from the Trent Vale Community Sports Association (Beeston FC). Start times will be from 6.00 – 6.30 pm. For those unfamiliar with the rules and route, details are on the Beeston AC website: http://beestonac.com/trent-lock-challenge .

 

Two places up for grabs for the Robin Hood Half Marathon, 26 September: Rob Evans would like to donate two Robin Hood Half places to the Club (these include t-shirts) and the lucky winners will be selected in a raffle and will need to register their places by 27th August. If you have not already entered and would like your name to be entered into the draw, please reply to this email or put a comment on the post which will shortly appear on the Club Facebook page. Rob will be present to make the draw at the Trent Lock Handicap on 18th August. Closing date for entries: 17th August.

 

Congratulations: to the soggy Beestonites who took part in the first race of the 2021 Road League at Holme Pierrepont tonight; what could be better than running 10K in the rain round the HP Lake?! Results awaited. The next road league race is the Wilne 10K on 5 September.
