—————————————————————————————

  1. Run & Rehydrate – The Swan Thursday 7th November 20:15 – 22:30

Please complete the Google form below to indicate that you want to go for a free chilli and a drink as we need to let the Swan know in advance.  https://forms.gle/QyRndsYcgLv7qQuV9

Numbers close on Friday 1st November so book your place today!

We usually do these in the Summer so this will be a test of going out for a normal Thursday night run but then showering at the Leisure centre and then going to the Swan on the High Street for food and drink at about 20:15. The food at 21:00 will be chilli with garlic bread (including a vegetarian chili option) with first drink all paid for by the Club. All Members are invited.

Note: we can’t use the Leisure Centre before our run so turn up in the top car park at 19:00 ready to run in your usual groups. We can use the showers & changing after we return.

  1. TRC Race Series 2025 – Message from the RDs

The Club’s 2025 Race Series opens for entries at 6:00pm on Sunday 6th October. We will be asking you please to marshal these events nearer the dates – Riverbank Rollick Sunday 12th January, Thornbury 10k Thursday 19th June starting and Oldbury 10 mile  Sunday 21st September. There are a limited number of places at each event to allow for both marshalling and running. Any Club member who would like to run in 2025, especially those who marshalled in 2024 and didn’t run, please contact events@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk before entering letting us know which event(s) you wish to enter, thank you. Please can you help promote Series ‘25 by telling your friends (not in the Club!) or by putting up a poster at work. Poster can be found here ->  Series’25 Launch Poster – Landscape or Series’25 Launch Poster – Portrait . The Race Series is our biggest source of income and helped fund the nice shiny new kit everyone is wearing. Thank you.
