Witham Running Club
 |
Monday Pub Run
Witham Running Club was formed in 1983 to support those who want to train, race and run for fun, on and off road. We are based at Bramston Sports Centre in Witham and we now have over 180 members. We have a thriving juniors section and our ratio of ladies to men is about 45:55.
More information is in the "About Us" section in the menu on the left.

lorraine writes "Julie Boyden was Witham's only runner in the Phoenix Striders off-road 5.2K race at the Plotlands Reserve in Basildon on a hot and sultry Tuesday evening.
Julie has run this race before but the conditions conspired against her and she wasn't able to improve on her previous best time, completing the course in 25:58.

lorraine writes " Chloe Burt's training for the Berlin marathon has suffered lately due to pressure of work, but she was still up nice and early on Sunday morning to toe the line for the Dartford half marathon.
The race was really well marshalled, offering plenty of water and much appreciated sponge stations as the hills and sunshine made for hot, thirsty running.
Chloe crossed the line in 2:15:14 and is now determined to shave a couple of minutes off her next race time.

More PBs at Brentwood 10K
|
|
lorraine writes "Sunday saw a couple of PBs from our runners at the local Brentwood 10K, an undulating course starting in Herongate and wending its way through the countryside to Little Burstead and back. Scott Enders was the first Witham runner home in a new personal best of 48:26, closely followed by Shelley Wray in 48:38 (another personal best) and her 'pace maker' Dave Enders (also 48:38).

martynb writes "Firstly a big thank you to everyone that turned out to represent Witham Running Club at Ipswich yesterday.
It really was good to see such a big turn out and also the fantastic support that was given to each and every runner.This was clearly demonstrated by the large numbers that stayed behind long after the leading teams had finished to cheer in Carmel.
Special thanks to Ian for his great organisation to team captains, Alan, Mike, Dave and Brigid for bringing together the teams and for those gallant guys that ran two legs.Also to Frank and his wife for the excellent photographs that can now be found in the gallery.
Looking forward to next year alraedy.

***Last minute Ekiden Update
|
|
ians writes "Dear Ekiden Teams
Can you please make sure that you are either at Morrisons at 0815 or Ipswich by 0900. This is really important as we must submit our final team lists by 0930 or we will be refused entry.
If you are intending to turn up after 0900 please contact your team captain in advance so they know what leg you will be running i.e. Brigid, Mike, Dave, Alan or me!
Note: anyone wanting to run is guaranteed a leg if they turn up before 0900 at Ipswich!
Any problems please give me a call or drop me an email.
Thanks for your ongoing support!
Ian

PS: To make it a bit more interesting there will be a prize for the best finishing Witham Team and individual runner presented next week at the club (weighted by age category and gender)
