The Handicap Results for April are now out and as usual can be found here on our Results page. For the first time this year the Cumulative results are also included and its clear that 2 people are heading the board at this point – well done to Helen and Charly! But there is more than half of the year to go – plenty of time for ANYTHING to happen! Good luck everyone

England Athletics registration/renewal for 2019/20 is now open. If you are an existing member this lapses on 31 March, and if you want to join now is the time to do so as you will get the benefit of a full years membership. The cost is £15, unchanged from last year.

As a reminder, this is an entirely optional, additional membership to Henfield Joggers, that registers you as an ‘athlete’ (yeah I know, I am a member just to get a kick from having a card saying ‘registered athlete’!!). Membership runs 1st April to 31st March, and you can only join through a registered Club (which Henfield Joggers is/are). I do the registration for you, you pay Henfield Joggers £15 (BACS preferable with EA as the reference) and we pay England Athletics and register you.

There is often confusion between Club registration with England Athletics and Individual. The Clubs affiliation number is often all you need when securing entry discounts and is available to everyone, but equally there are times when only Individual Members can get the discount, and the number you need for this is your own England Athletics number (if you are a member)

The benefit to the Club overall is that we need 10 people minimum to sign up so that the Club qualifies for receiving one guaranteed entry to the London Marathon each year. If fewer than 10 sign up then the Club is not guaranteed a place but is entered into a ballot instead.

The benefits to you as an individual are on the England Athletics website – the link is here. Please make your own judgement and if you want to register let me know below, and transfer £15 to the HJ Bank Account. I will do the rest.

The March results are now out, plus after the confusion over February there is an updated set of results for that month now available – here!

Monthly Handicap Results 2019

Due to a kitchen fire the planned pub run has been cancelled and will be rearranged for a later month. Tomorrow’s run will therefore be from HLC at 7pm.

Welcome to 2019 everyone! The first Handicap of the year was run on 2nd January and the results are now out, you can find them on the new 2019 page here!

I’m sure everyone knows the result now but for posterity the final results for 2018 can now be found here. 

Congratulations to everyone who took part across the year but especially to our Top 3 of Alison Scale, Chris Brown, and of course our Winner and holder of the Grace Wells Trophy for the next year is Nikki Hargrave! Congratulations Nikki!

At the AGM on 28th November the draw for the Club place at the 2019 Virgin London Marathon was held. 13 Names went into the hat and Vicki drew out the names – CONGRATULATIONS go to Aileen Raymos who is the lucky recipient whose training starts NOW! Her backup, should anything happen to her (we hope not but it HAS happened before!) will be the second name out of the hat, Chris Brown.

We look forward to tracking you around the course next year Aileen – good luck!!
