I suggest we do another favourite on Saturday morning – the Monastery Run. It’s about 12 miles, flat and can easily be lengthened or shortened.

September Handicap Results
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.
Saturday Morning 1st September
Pinch Punch first of the month! I suggest we do the Convent Run on Saturday. It’s flat and about 12 miles, depending on the route, which may include checking out the 2 mile Fun Run that the club is organising on behalf of the Parish Council next month.
Joggers’ Exploits
Jenny Cobby and Michael Dee ran the Arundel 10k on Sunday. Thankfully finishing before the rain arrived.
The race starts in Arundel Town Centre. Following a circuit of the town, runners enter the grounds of Arundel Castle by the lower gates, climb through the grounds, loop around Arundel Park and return back through the Castle to the finish in the Town Square.
Jenny managed her best 10k time for years (1:18:24) on what’s a pretty tricky course. Well done to both Jenny and Mickey.
Saturday Morning 25th August
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!
Saturday Morning 18th August
I suggest we do the Poynings Run on Saturday morning. It’s flat, about 12 miles and shouldn’t be overgrown. I am away next weekend, so the choice of where and how far to run is up for grabs!
Henfield Half Marathon
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
Saturday Morning 11th August
Now the weather is cooler longer runs are more feasible on Saturday mornings and this route is just over 12 miles. It also follows much of the half marathon course that can therefore be checked out before the race on Sunday.
Saturday Morning 4th August
I was going to suggest another route across the Turrell bridge on Saturday, but at present that involves crossing the slurry field and I’ve had enough of bathing Mitch! This route via Wappingthorn, where we haven’t run for a while, is about 11 miles, flat and shouldn’t be overgrown…
Team Event 2019 – Endure 24 Reading
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!!!
