Latest Handicap Results are out – one more left for 2018 and the Result will be announced by Chris at the Christmas Do – one more reason to be there! No more comment necessary – you can find ALL the results here!
Octobers results can be found here, and as Chris says it is good to see some of our more recent members climbing up the table as they add more results! Only TWO more Handicap events for 2018!!!
Many will by now know that Olivia sadly lost her fight and passed away peacefully in St Barnabas House last week, making this even more important to the village. Please attend if you can, and donate if you are able.
By now everyone should have seen the Walk for Olivia campaign organised by BN5 Magazine. Henfield Joggers will also be leading a RUN for Olivia event alongside those walking – this is OPEN to EVERYONE and will be a gentle pace – it is not a race, just a symbol of togetherness with Olivia and a chance to raise much needed money for the Brain Tumour Charity. More details can be found here – please come along and take part in the event, whether running or walking doesn’t matter, just take part! And please make a donation to this great charity here:
On Wednesday evening 3rd October the curtain was drawn over the 2018 Three Peaks Challenge fundraising efforts when Jo Bacon from St Barnabas House made a presentation showing the £4039.59 raised as a result of the challenge. HUGE thanks go to not just the Walkers who had to face the challenge itself, but also to everyone who supported the event, from the Drivers, the Cakers, the Bakers, the Tea Sellers, the Sponsors and EVERYONE who played a role – you all helped make a difference, and a very proud day for the Club!!
Here are the September results following our Summer break (which always seems like a very long interval!)
Chris reports that while there is little change at the head of the results table, it is great to see 5 new members are taking their place in the table (i.e. scoring more than the token 3 points for a first qualifying run), after dipping their feet, or running shoes, in the water last June. You can find the detailed breakdown as usual on the Handicap Results page here.
This Saturday both Hugh and Mark are away gallivanting therefore as tradition demands, the route will be set by Brian Turrell, which means we can expect a trot over to Ashurst across the eponymous Bridge, to sniff the grass on the other side. Expect no more than 10 miles at a nice pace, the weather is going to be fine, it’s a Bank Holiday, what could be finer!!! HLC at 8am as usual!
Congratulations to all who ran the Henfield Half Marathon today, and to everyone who marshalled and helped out from Henfield Joggers and our extended family of friends and, Er, family!!!
A special congratulations to Catherine Verrall who completed her first half marathon today after joining the Beginners course back in April – amazing!
Henfield Leisure Centre are the organisers of this event but here is a copy of the results, since we as a club produced them for Simon, the Leisure Centre Manager, who can be contacted at simonthompson@henfieldleisure.org.uk
ENDURE 24 JUNE 2019 – This has come up many times before so this time it is definite – we are entering at least one team (which is already pretty full thanks to existing interest and now commitment) and are looking to enter another one or even two if enough people commit!
Endure 24 is called the ‘Glastonbury of Running’ – its held in a country park near Reading on 15th June 2019 and starts at 12 noon. Each team then runs/jogs/walks as many laps of a 5 mile circuit as they can – with only one runner out at a time – in the next 24 hours.
All the details are on the event website and the link is below, but Team Size is anything up to a maximum of 8 runners. Except that Solo and pair teams are now sold out so the teams are now 3 to 8 people!!
If you assume a team of 8, then there will be 7 laps (of 5 miles) before you need to run again – and actually you only NEED to run once to qualify for your medal – the team technically could run a lap each then sit back – but that wouldn’t be as much fun!
COST is £70 per person (including Tech Tee Shirt) and the Club will do something around the transport (TBC – its so far away)
SO – WHO IS IN? WE CAN BUILD A TEAM(S) AROUND HOWEVER MANY REGISTER AND YOU HAVE 11 MONTHS TO TRAIN – IF YOU THINK YOU NEED TO OF COURSE!!!
EMAIL ENQUIRIES@HENFIELDJOGGERS.CO.UK TO REGISTER
All the event information can be found on the Event website here:
Due to the World Cup Semi Final match where England will play Croatia, kicking off at 7pm, the proposed Shepherd and Dog Pub Run is shelved for this week. The visit to the Shepherd and Dog will still take place but on 22nd August now.
There will be a usual Wednesday run from HLC led by Eb for those non-footballing runners! Meet at 7pm as usual.
