Weekly Roundup 3rd July 2025

  • The Eye Charity 5 Mile race takes place on Thursday 17th July, this year in support of Alzheimer’s. It is a Cambs RRL race and incorporates the 5 mile County Championship. Enter here  
  • We do need help to marshal the course, take entries and look after the finish, so please if you can help out let me know. Opportunities to run and help, e.g. entry desk, parking.
  • Next coaching session 10/07. Next Sunday Social Run 13/07 9am at Community Centre. As usual, groups worked out on the day.
  • The Werrington Joggers 5m Guesstimate, takes place on Tuesday 15th July over an accurately measured 5 mile loop around Peakirk and Glinton and you have to guess how long it will take you to complete the distance. All watches, Garmin’s, etc are banned and the winner is not the first across the line, but the person who is closest to their guesstimate time. (It’s therefore a run not a race!!) There will be the usual bottle prizes for the closest to their time from each club with four or more participants. Entry is free, but we organise the event as part of our charity fund raising year and therefore donations are much appreciated. Registration and number collection will start from 18.30 at the Werrington Sports Centre and the run will start at 19.15, just along from the centre. The results and prize winners will now be announced at the Lime Tree Public House on Paston Lane PE4 6HA which has kindly given use of their function room. It is hoped that we will also have hot dogs and burgers for sale along with your post run beer. Pre orders can be made and paid for at race registration. 
  • If you have booked to go to the Marigold for the Summer Social 18th July, Paul needs your money like now!
