Upcoming Events

Small Commitment . Big Personal Result

As part of our term fitness, we get together and enter a fun run or walk to support a charity. In the past we have supported such charities as MS, Breast Cancer Research, Diabeties Awareness, local Suft Clubs, Rotary and local hospitals.  We aim to enter an event each term, sometimes two and we are open to any charity event suggestions.

These events give you a great feeling of achievment and also give you a goal for your training sessions.  Some events we enter with our families and others we compete individually - it's up to you!   These events are purely optional and are just for a bit of fun.  If there is an event on our list you would like to enter, please let me know and we will get you into training.  There is something for everyone from now running up to Christmas - give something a go, you will love the feeling!

Here are a selection of upcoming events. Our next exciting event is coming up soon....
