It is now getting quite dark on a Tuesday returning from efforts and on a Thursday after the club run so for safety reasons we would like everyone to wear Hi-Viz tops and carry a head torch.

3. New TRC Running Kit is here

Scimitar running kit

If you would like to order one of our Scimitar running tops, with our new logo, please use this form which contains photos and details:- https://forms.gle/5HUA56Mi4dGkvbgN6

We have stock available for Short Sleeve and Long Sleeve T-Shirts, Men’s Vests, and Women’s Slouch. In a change to previous announcements we ordered stock of the Long Sleeve T-Shirts which contain reflective seams and tab as these would make a great winter training top.  

Linela clothing

Requested items for non-running clothing comprising of jackets, hoodies, and track pants should be available later this month.There has been a delay as Linela have been busy getting all the children ready for the back-to-school. We will send you an email when the stock is available for collection.

4. A Group to organise Social activities for the Club

8. Ashleigh Davidson’s 48 mile run for The Samaritans

Ashleigh completed the 48 mile challenge for the Samaritans running 4 miles every 4 hours over the weekend. She tells me that you wouldn’t believe what goes on in Thornbury during the early hours of the morning!. Fortunately she always had at least one TRC Member running with her and even managed 9 min/mile pace for her last stint on Sunday morning.  It is not too late to sponsor Ashleigh…
