1. Club Membership

2023-24 Club membership was due on 31^st March, thank you to all those who have already renewed. If you have not,  please complete 2023-24 membership form. The membership fees for 2023-24 are unchanged from 2022-23. If you want EA membership support it is important you apply by the end April latest. Please can you pay promptly as it takes a lot of admin from Nathan and I chasing people every year. If you are one of the 7 people who joined in January 2023, this does not apply to you, as your membership is valid until end March 2024. If you have any questions please contact captain@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk

2. Club Road Race Championships + Run & Rehydrate

Please join us for the 2023 Club Road Race Championships on Thursday 27^th April  for a 7:00 pm run start. This event is open to ALL club members and is a great opportunity for us all to run together. Starting close to The Anchor Inn Oldbury and running over the new Thornbury 10k course (reverse direction to 2022). This is a straight shoot out single race with trophies for 1st female and 1^st male runners. More importantly it’s a chance for us to run together as a Club. First drinks free for all runners and marshals. We also plan to use this event to present our Club charity (Bristol Bone Marrow / Anthony Nolan Trust) with a cheque. I need 7 marshals please who can walk or run to a marshal position (and get a free drink). Ideal for anyone injured or the walking group. Please contact captain@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk
