Summer Outruns

Following a strong turn out for the first few summer outruns (see the blog for more details) , the next run is on May 23rd from the Three Horseshoes in Whissendine. Meet in the car park there from 6.45pm for a 7pm run followed by a drink or two afterwards and a weekly quiz to raise money for the Air Ambulance. All outruns will be between 6 and 8 miles over multi-terrain courses, run as a group. A shorter course will also be offered for those who prefer.

LRRL Summer League

The following races form this year's summer league. It is worth noting, particularly if you are new to the LRRL races, that, in contrast to the winter league, all these events are open races with entry required in advance.

As an example, Swithland 6 is £8 to enter in advance and £15 to enter on the day (to the extent there are places in the race available - summer league races do sometimes sell out in advance).

Finally, you should be aware that the first two races, at least, have been set up so that you will need to collect your number and chip on the day - even if entering in advance. Therefore, do leave some extra time in order to do this on the day.

  • Sun 13 May - Hinckley Half Marathon
  • Sun 27 May - Swithland 6
  • Wed 4 July - Hungarton 7
  • Wed 1 August - Huncote Joy Cann 5
  • Sun 12 August - Hermitage 10k
  • Sun 2 September - John Fraser 10

    Club standards

    As an extra motivation for those members who like to race from time to time, the club introduced the club standard awards a couple of years ago. The rules, together with mens standards and womens standards are attached below. In essence, the challenge is to achieve three race times in the year that are better than the standard level you are aiming at - those who achieve either their first award, or the next standard up, will then receive their award at the club's annual awards dinner.
