Calendar

Following up an idea that was suggested to me (during a chat after the AGM), I am trying out a Calendar on the WWRR website. The idea is to show forthcoming running events, of interest to members and website visitors.
A draft version is available here: Running Events Calendar (draft version)
There is also a new "Calendar" tab near the top of this website.
You can choose to view the Calendar in various ways, such as a Month or a List (see the screen-shots below). I aim to add further events to the Calendar soon.

Well done to Lisa and Cherry for representing the WWRR club on Sunday (14th January)

Cherry did very well in her age group - there were 7 runners in the group, and Cherry finished in 2nd place, but only 26 seconds behind the first place.

the club Cross Country Competition, January 2018

The WWRR Cross Country event takes places every January.

This 5 mile run is open to any runners, and there was a wonderful turnout on Sunday (7th January) with around 50 runners in total.
Some were new to running, having perhaps done a few parkruns, but never any kind of club event before.

Many people who came along donated to the charity Mind, in recognition of RED (run-every-day) January. Thanks everyone for your generosity - £129 was collected! 

This is also a nominated time competition for WWRR members, with a prize for whoever runs the closest actual time to the time they predicted before the start of the race.

On Sunday six WWRRs rose to this challenge. Congratulations to new member Andy Dorning for winning this year's cross-country "nominated time" prize.

Here are the results:-

Name	Nom. time	Act. time	Difference	Position
Andy	49.00	50.01	1.01	1
Matt	40.00	42.22	2.22	2
Cherry	58.00	60.32	2.32	3
Eric	50.00	53.45	3.45	4
Graham	54.00	50.46	-3.54	5
Roger	53.00	58.23	5.23	6

Club Cross Country and Nominated Time Event

Our club XC is coming up this Sunday 7th January 2018. 
At the moment, the weather looks reasonable but expect the ground to show the effects of all the rain we have been having - make sure your shoes are done up well!
WWRRs should come prepared to nominate your time (last year's are still on our website).
The idea is to predict your time over the 5 mile course and then run that time without the aid of a watch etc. - it's an opportunity for slower runners to win!
Other runners are welcome to join us too just for fun (but they will not be timed).
It's 5 hilly miles with some mud.
Meet at Freshwater Bay Car Park no later than 10.45 am for a 11.00 am start.
