Return to running

19 March 2021 - By Bill smythe

In line with Government and EA guidance we will be looking to return to some form of group running from 29th March. This is dependant on Step 1 of the road map going ahead. The guidance states the following;

Outdoor unorganised activity (noncoached) can take place in groups of 6. – This means a return of the running buddies groups on a Tuesday with a maximum of 6 in each group, social distancing must be maintained before, during and after each session. Numbers are not limited but groups should try not to meet at the same place. Please speak to myself, Karen Flowers or James Attenborough if you are not already in the FB messenger group, which is used for arranging these and want to join.

Formal organised outdoor athletics & running activity that is Covid-secure can take place for both children and adults. – This means a return of the Thursday structured speed sessions led by one of WRC’s coaching team. These sessions must be Covid secure which means numbers will be restricted to 12 per coach, there are normally 2 coaches for each session. Runners must sign up via the website before each session and complete the disclaimer. If you are showing symptoms or are isolating you must not attend.

Virtual members are welcome to attend these sessions.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Stay safe.
