RACE BRIEF: THE COLIN TETHER TROPHY (see Note 1)

When? Monday 28 March, 1830

Where? Meet Viaduct Meadow Car Park (under Abbey Road Bridge)

What’s the trophy challenge?· One mile, out & back course· Split time taken at the half-mile turning point· Final time taken at the mile finish· Winner = he/she whose outbound half mile time is closest to their return half mile time· So, how fast or slow you go doesn’t matter, perfectly even pacing means you win a massive trophy (see Note 2) you can keep forever, presented later that evening in a local pub (after the Monday Club runs).Simples!By the way, the mile run is ‘naked’ (see Note 3) of technology. No watches, GPS timers, phones etc allowed. Run on feel, feel the love.

How does this work with Monday runs?· Sign up for “The Colin Trophy” on the app to take part· Also sign up for your choice of Club run if you’re doing that too – these will commence immediately after the one-mile challenge finishes.· Mass warm up at 1830, final race instructions, do the mile challenge (you should all be finished 1850ish)· Join your Run Leader for your Club run.· Regroup in a local pub (TBC) for results and the trophy presentation.Notes:1 – If this is bewildering, sign up on the app and just show up2 – It really is a seriously impressive trophy, and large. Trust me on this one.3 – As the word ‘naked’ has been used, be assured Robert will be under close supervision at all times .See you Monday.

Please keep 7:45pm on Monday 9th May 2022 free for the Club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).We need all paid up members to attend so you can have a say on how you would like your club to proceed going forward. The meeting will take place at Raphael’s Restaurant.

The new format of Monday club runs and efforts sessions are now happening regularly. If you want to join one of the regular club runs or efforts sessions you will need to book a place using the My Running Club app. Look out for future planned runs under the “Training” section of the app. All runs are led by a qualified (LiRF) run leader and there are normally groups to suit all paces.

If you are not a member of the club please use the Contact us function on this site and we can set you up on the app with temporary access so that you can come and try out before committing to join the club.

You can download the app to your phone/tablet or use the webpage on a computer to register. Please sign up with the name and email address you have registered with the club.

Places are limited and get booked up quickly as we don’t have enough run leaders and continue to rely on the same small number of amazing volunteers to organise and lead the sessions.

If you are interested in becoming a run leader please contact a member of the committee. The club will pay for you to do the England Athletics LiRF course.

We’re restarting Efforts Sessions this Wednesday, 24th June – but we can only offer sessions to limited numbers. 

To be fair to all members, we will be conducting a ballot to determine who can come to this first session.

How we manage future sessions will depend on demand this week, and how the evening goes.

You’ll need to enter the ballot before 7pm on Tuesday 23rd June.

We’re currently updating our risk assessment and the final details of how the sessions will be structured, and we’ll share all of this with you as soon as they’re complete.

It’s been a strange few months, but we hope you have been able to keep up with the running habit, and have kept safe and well. We’ be updating you again soon with details about social runs, the club’s AGM, committee structure and more over the coming weeks.

Best wishes

The EVRC Committee

Tonight’s club run is cancelled, as are all official club runs / efforts sessions* until further notice.

We’re sorry to do this but in view of the government’s advice just now to avoid unnecessary social contact we’re going to suspend all official club activities, effective immediately.

There will be no club run tonight – please let people know who may not have seen this message.

This is obviously a fast-moving situation, and we will update you with more detail when we’ve had time to discuss what we should do next, but wanted to get this message out quickly ahead of tonight’s run.

* Update, 22/6/2020 – Efforts sessions are restarting on 24/6/2020, click here for details.
