Bowood Away Run – Change of Date

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, our start and end point for this away run is now unable to accommodate us on the planned date of Tuesday the 6th of June. To that end, the committee have decided to re-schedule the Bowood run for Thursday the 8th of June instead. The runs originally planned for Thursday will be moved to Tuesday on the training schedule.

We are sorry that this may result in some of you being unable able to now attend the away run but hope you understand that this was the preferred option rather than cancelling outright. We hope that most of you will still be able to join us for a lovely scenic evening run around Bowood and then for some post run refreshments in The Lansdowne Arms afterwards.

Parking at The Lansdowne Arms will be limited but we are welcome to use their car park or the surrounding side roads. Please DO NOT park in the residents car park which is adjacent to the pub car park and marked as such. As always we strongly encourage you to car share with other CRC members if at all possible.

Corsham Running Club Family Ceilidh

Corsham Running Club would like to invite you to join us at our Family Ceilidh. Our summer event, starring the band ‘Get Reel‘, will be held on Saturday 15th July, 4pm – 9pm at Neston Memorial hall. There will be a cash bar and a fantastic raffle (top prizes so far include; afternoon tea for two at The Sign of the Angel, Lacock. Round of golf for three (18 holes) at Whitley golf club).

Tickets cost £10 per adult and £5 per child (under 14’s) and includes a BBQ and the chance to dance like you’ve never danced before! Tickets are limited and can be purchased (for yourselves or others) on club nights from any committee member or by contacting social@corshamrunningclub.co.uk.

This will be our one and only fundraising event in this years calendar and we hope to raise enough money so that we can continue to subsidise club events. We would love it if you could support us by coming along with family and friends for what will be a wonderful evening of family fun.

We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible.

Mo and Rachel

Dear CRC Members,

As you may have seen on club’s Facebook page, the pleasure that is the Avon Valley Relay takes place on Saturday 1st July with the first leg starting at 1pm. Further information on the event is provided below and can be found on Avon Valley Runners’ website here but the key points are as follows:

  • An inclusive & social pass the baton relay event for all abilities of runner – from newbies to racing snakes
  • Navigation is straightforward
  • It is downhill or flat!
  • Trowbridge Rugby Club provides a grandstand finish to cheer in the fourth leg runner and then jointly celebrate with some liquid refreshment.

If you want to join the fun and be part of a CRC team then please let me know by return of email. The club committee has kindly agreed to pay for up to ten teams but if we can pull together more than that I’ll spread the cost.

Finally, should you have a question about the event before committing then drop me line by email / Facebook / Messenger and / or catch me on a Tuesday or Thursday club night.

Cheers,
