News – 5 Apr

Guess Your Time 5 Mile – very few guesses submitted so far for this on 18 Apr. I need your estimate of how long you will run the 5 mile course, latest date for submission will be 17 Apr. On the night runners can start at any time after 7pm, doesn’t matter exactly when you start as it is all chip timed. If you don’t have a chip yet we’ll issue you one on the night. We will need at least half a dozen marshals who need to meet me near the start from around 6:45pm.

Visually Impaired Runners – There is a sight awareness and guide running workshop at Shildon on Wed 11 July (6:30 – 9pm). Anyone interested needs to register on the England Athletics website.

Manchester – Good luck to all heading to Manchester this weekend for the marathon, many tackling their first attempt at the distance after a long and challenging training programme over the winter, wear your Stroller vests with pride.

Germany – a small group of Strollers will be (literally) flying the Stroller flag in Gerlingen this weekend, 5 tackling the half marathon and Steve Hobday the 10K. We’ll do our best to demonstrate best Stroller drinking traditions!!

Stroller of the Month – our latest Stroller of the Month is Pete Sissons who followed an excellent performance at Hardmoors 55 with a top-15 finish at Dark Skies.
