Our annual charity fund raising event, the Werrington Joggers 5m Guesstimate, will be held this year on Tuesday 15th July. The route is the usual 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, or other timing devices 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!!) They will hold the Sandra Cooper Cup for 12 months. 

As in previous years invitations have been sent to our friends at the other GPAN clubs to join us. 

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.

Following the closure of the Ploughman Public House 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 are not running but would be willing to help, we'd be very grateful for marshals or help with time keeping and number recording. Please email Tim Cook (tim30dstj@aol.com) or see me or Tim on Tuesday evening.

Marshals

Thank you for giving up your time to marshal our 3K/ 5K event on Wednesday 9 July: we are very grateful for the support.

• Please be at the Werrington Sports Centre from 17:30  for your marshal briefing, last roll call 1800
• Everyone who has volunteered will be placed at a specific position out on the course.
• Your briefing may take place in the Drama Studio at WSC which can get very noisy -  so we would be grateful if people can keep quiet while the briefings are being delivered - whilst we will endeavour to be speedy, nothing will be rushed. So if there is a queue in the studio, your patience and cooperation would be appreciated.

 Marshals and WJ runners

Parking

Olympus House ( the building before the Tesco garage on Staniland Way) PE1 6NA,  have kindly agreed that we can use their main car park outside their building, as well as the overflow car park on the bottom right-hand side of their building (around 50 spaces).

The extra car parks will be available from 5:30pm to approximately 9:00pm, giving us a total of around 110 spaces. 

Marshals and WJ runners please use this car park, which will allow more spaces at the Tesco car park for other 3K/ 5K entrants.

Please note that due to very hot conditions expected for Sunday 22 June , the Sunday Run from Wansford will start at 8am.

Please ensure you are fully hydrated and bring water with you on the run. We will meet as usual opposite the Haycock Hotel .

Our new Ron Hill branded running vests have now arrived.

They are in the latest fabric, using the sublimation technique for the pattern, with no horizontal seams.

We now have in stock 3 in each of the following sizes:

Ladies - size 8, 10, 12, 14 & 16, fitted sides with racer back and scooped (longer) tail

Men's - size S, M, L & XL, straight sides and front and back same length

Please bear in mind that if you are looking to order a new style vest the Ron Hill sizing tends to come up small, so the advice is to try the next size up to the one you think you want.

The vests will be priced at £23 each – cash payments at time of purchase.

Tim Cook has kindly offered to be initial point of contact for orders, and Heather Revell has kindly agreed to store the vests.

Please note that the pattern of the new vests is exactly the same as the Shotbowl vests that existing members hold – we are not expecting existing members to rush out and buy a new style vest – the Shotbowl ones are fine.

Tim will bring an example of the new vest to club night on Tuesday ( 24 June) so members can see them.

If you are seeking to buy a new vest (and we anticipate that this will mainly apply to members who have only recently joined the club and who don’t currently hold a vest) please let Tim know what size you'd like and he'll arrange with you collection and payment.

For all other club kit members should continue to order from the Werrington Joggers Shop at Shotbowl.
