Update - 24 Riversiders have made firm bookings. Very last chance to secure your place on this trip as final bookings are likely to be made on Monday 8 March.
Having scanned the field for likely looking venues for the 2010 annual trip, Mark presented a shortlist to the members at the November meeting asking for feedback. Since then he has refined the options to Zagreb, Croatia for the weekend of 8 - 11 Oct 2010. Mark believes that the price is likely to be in the order of £375 but this is obviously dependent upon the number of people that come along. What is needed now is for the firm bookings to come in. The itinerary will be along the lines of :
1. Fly to Croatia early on Fri 8th Oct, travel to and stay in a 3* hotel (B&B) close to the venue. 2. Sightseeing, drink, eat and be merry on Saturday 9th. 3. Small matter of a run (half or full Marathon) on Sunday 10th, Race entry NOT included. 4. Return home with lots of duty free, Monday 11th.
To secure a place(s) you need to pay a £35 non-refundable deposit. It is planned to put an instalment payment system in place for those that would like to take up that option. See Mark for more details and come along to the club meeting on 3 December to learn more.
The Riverside Runners Championship is now well underway and a record of the provisional scores for all entrants is published on the website in the document library. This will be updated every two months.
The championship recognises the best overall club performer taking into account their performance in a number of races over the year, based on a variety of factors. It operates from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010.
You will see from the latest results that the points allocated to your various races, takes into account factors such as your age, the amount of miles you ran in each race, the variety of different distances you have covered and how much improvement you have made on your personal best times.
These are only provisional scores, shortly after 30 June 2010 you will be asked to nominate up to a maximum of five races from this list and the same again shortly after 31 December 2010.
The club runner with the most points for all the races they nominate (up to a maximum of ten races) will win the trophy and this will be awarded at the annual presentation.
All runner abilities are welcomed as the Championship is designed to take into account new starters, improvers and competitive runners. For details of how the rules operate please click ‘document library’ on the left hand side.
