WEEKLY UPDATE - 25TH

Welcome to the weekly update!

• Sessions this week
  As always, check the calendar for this week’s sessions! IMPORTANT - We will be running down from the park to Russell Road for a hill session. If the run to and from the park is too much for you, feel free to head straight there for around 6.45pm. If we aren't there, we will be on our calendar

• Parkrun takeover
  We are taking over the Hailes Quarry Junior Parkrun on 1st February. If you have kids that don't mind being forced to run...please bring them along. All the volunteers will be from the club. Emma Dunlop says there are no limits to the volunteers so despite us being good to go on that front...there is still space for you! If you'd like to then email hailesquarryjuniors@parkrun.com with WERC takeover as the subject.
  Oh, and please wear your WERC merch!

• Group splitting
  It is super important to us that we keep the community feel, but our coaches and the park itself can’t cope with the huge numbers we are getting, particularly in January! So…you will see it be more common that we will all warm-up together, but then split off to run the session in different places. If logistics work out we will try and cool-down together too! Feedback will be sought on how that is going, don’t worry!

• Club champs XC
  Remember, the last champs race of this year is the XC Masters in February and Kathryn is taking names for entries by 3rd February. We have a good number already, so it could be quite the event! We will be subsidising entries too. More details at the link:

  And of course, check the website for the 2026/2027 race announcements!
