PENDLETON FELL RACE - CANCELLED

 

Hi all - for anyone who hasn't seen, next Saturday's points race has been cancelled by the organisers.

Essentially due to the ongoing maintenance around Pendle road heading out onto the A59 from Clitheroe.

More information to follow from ARR in terms of a new fell points race being added.

Full article can be found on Clayton's website.

Apologies!

Fred

Ron Hill's 80th birthday 5k takes place on the evening of Tuesday 25th September from the Cock & Magpie Pub at Whitworth OL12 8BJ.
It is being organised again by Andy O'Sullivan, and it would be great to see some ARR there in support of Ron.

The race is £11.50 but includes a commemorative mug to all finishers and apparently may be televised live!

https://bookitzone.com/andrew_o_sullivan/cv2FFX for booking. Will likely fill up before the race. Cheers!

I’ve been asked by a few members if we could sort out a points race where we all go by minibus or coach and stay for a couple of drinks after and return. How many would be interested in doing this for the Yarrow Valley River Splash Race on the 16th September. Please can you let me know your thoughts?(message will expire on Sat 15/Sep/2018).

I'm entering a team to the It's a Knockout at Enfield cricket club again this year. With enough interest it may be possible to have 2 teams this year as a few people missed out last year.This takes place on the August bank holiday Monday (27th) so we should have decent weather. Everyone had a great time last year and it was a fantastic team bonding afternoon so I hope more people can get involved this time.Let me know at club on Tuesday evenings or message me on Facebook if anyone's interested.(message will expire on Tue 28/Aug/2018).

Just a reminder to all our runners regarding the rule on club vests.
When competing as a member of Accrington Road Runners in a race or event; it is expected you wear (and display) a club vest.
This is particularly important when representing the club in team events and in our club races.
The club vest helps advertise and promote the club gives us a presence in races. 
Club Vests are available from Colette
