Click to enlarge pictureA week Monday will see the next alternate run, and it will start from Denco car park (HR2 6LR) at the usual time.
The distance will be around 12k / just over 7m with a couple of sharpe climbs (!), and you will need off road footwear as it is expected to be sticky in places.

On Tuesday April 30th Ad Watts will be hosting an Everything Running event at Ady Watts Personal Training in Rotherwas.
The spaces are free, but limited, so if you fancy an evening out why not pop along and get some advice from the experts.

For the benefit of all our new members see below details of Hereford Couriers 5K series. Entry Forms are downloadable off the hereford couriers web site.
Please remember that the 1st race only counts towards the Wye Valley Runners Summer Club Championship. The race represents excellent value particularly for those looking to a first race with an advance entry fee of just £3. It's a good way for new runners to get some race experience and put a marker down for future races. No pressure just focus on getting around the course. Lets see a big turnout.

Evening everyone
If any of you fancy a run in and/or around Haugh Woods tomorrow morning we will be heading out at 9.30 from the top car park.
Although it'll be a little frosty temperature wise the forecast is for a dry weekend. So wrap up warm and come and join us, the more the merrier!!!!!
There will be a club run as usual on Easter Monday almost certainly along the riverbank to Breinton Springs returning via the Orchards.
It was good to see such a large turn out for last nights club run and we would like to extend a very warm Wye Valley Runners welcome to all our new members and all those that have started joing our club runs. Unfortunately no cupcakes / flapjacks on offer last night.
Just a reminder that tickets are now on sale for the club quiz and disco nite on Fri 17th May in aid of Hereford Haven Beast Cancer priced at £12 each. Contact Michelle Williams or Mike Shaw if you wish to purchase tickets or add your name to the list on club notice board. In order to seat everyone for the quiz we are limited to 100 tickets & last years event sold out by early May.
