WEEKLY UPDATE 1ST MARCH
Club Champs updates
Last week's XC was the last race of our 25/26 but it's not quite over yet! Loads of you doing volunteer duties this weekend to get your 15 points cemented. Some of you even pulled double duty at parkrun and junior parkrun. Quite a few parkrun PBs yesterday too!
You have until March 21st to get your parkrun time down, your 3 volunteer shifts completed and run a marathon (or submit a previous marathon time from April 25 to now that you haven't already).
The prize giving is on March 26th which is a club night. We will meet at the usual spot at 6.30 and do a social run until around 7.15 then head over to the Roseburn bar for the prizes (and pints). If you aren't coming to the club that night, you can come to the Roseburn bar for 7pm. EVERYONE TO JOIN - EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TAKING PART!
Remember, there are prizes for the top 10 but there are LOADS of prizes for others in the champs. So don't assume you aren't getting a shout out if you are further down the table. In-fact we need your help. Can you (members only) go to this form and nominate folk who have had an impact on your champs journey

Very soon we will send you out the handbook for the 26/27 champs, but you can already access the races on the champs section of the website. Actually some of them are on sale already:

Newsletter
Our amazing Social Media and Digital Comms lead El has pulled together a phenomenal newsletter this month with an excellent column from our resident speedy marathon runner Keith, brilliant write ups of our parkrun takeover and the National XC in Falkirk, a great reminder from Head Coach Dom that when you've finished your run…you ain't done!

AGM date and alternate session
Remember the AGM is on the 2nd April. We hold this online on a Thursday and you will be given a link soon. That week we will be having our “Thursday” session on Wednesday the 1st.
Club Kit
Vest and T-shirts are available for order now. The online store isn't quite ready to go, so we are doing it old-school and are doing it by Google form.
