Calling all Hedgies!!! 
RR10 Cross Country Details...
It’s less than two weeks to the start of the RR10 race series so Chris Brooks and I thought you might want the first few dates for your diaries. For any club members that haven't taken part before, the RR10’s are a series of 'Off-Road' races organised by clubs in South-West Hampshire and are held on a Wednesday evening.
The series this year has been increased from 10 to 11 races in total, although we only run in 9, host one and drop out of one.
Entry is free!
You just need to turn up and wear a club vest or tee shirt (red, white and blue stripey please). The courses vary in distance, but are all between 4 and 5 miles long. They are for all abilities of runner, whether you're a 5 minute miler or a 12 minute plus miler. Whatever pace you are there will always be someone to run with. It’s a great atmosphere and EVERYONE that runs counts towards the club points so PLEASE come along to as many as you can make.
My first race was Royal Victoria Country Park last year. I was very excited to be wearing my Hedgie vest for the first time and really enjoyed it. I couldn’t sleep afterwards as I was so excited! There are lots of people there and cake! Trail shoes are advisable to wear if you have them. If not don’t worry, they are not essential. I didn’t know what trail shoes were until the middle of last year! - They are just trainers specifically designed to give you extra grip off road and in wet conditions. I really enjoy wearing mine so they are a good investment, although at the beginning running does seem to involve a lot of shopping?
Here are the dates of the 1st 4 RR10’s for your diary:
April 20th 7pm Royal Victoria Country Park
May 4th 7.15pm Stoney Cross
May 18th 7.30pm Wilverley, Sway
June 1st 7.30pm Blackfield
More details for the first race at Royal Victoria Country Park will be posted nearer the time, but should you have any questions, please feel free to speak to myself or Chris Brooks. Let's make it a huge turn out on 20th April and we hope to see a lot of new faces. See you all there!
Thanks for your support.
