No Tech Run 01/04/2025

28 March 2025 - By James Attenborough

Nope this isnt an early April Fool…but on Tuesday no watches/timing devices please. You can record your run manually on Strava if you need to.

On Tuesday we will meet at the Witham Football Club at 6:45pm for a 7pm run start. You can park at the football club.

We will do the announcements slightly earlier at 6:55pm so that we can ensure that all runners get to the finish while it is still light.

So here are the “rules”:

Ensure your phones and/ or watches are left either at home or in your car.

When you arrive at the football club, please give your predicted time to our two volunteers who will have their stopwatch and clipboard.

To help you ‘predict’: If you want to run 10 min miles you will need to give a time of 50 mins to us or if you’re a 11:30 min runner, then 57 mins 30 secs etc.

After the announcements we will jog to roughly the Rugby Club back gate and we will then set you off.

The route is a slightly adjusted BD5 route with the finish line being the Football Club gate at the top of the Club driveway.

The winners will be the runners closest to their predicted time.

You can run this however you choose, but remember that its not a race, its just a chance to practice how good you actually are at “running to feel”.

If you want to run as a group of course you are more than welcome.

Please continue to wear hi-viz and headtorches as the light will definitely start to fade towards the end of the run.

Cant wait to see you there!!

Please support the Football Club by having a drink in the bar after.
