The results can be found on the Senior Championships menu under Club Championships Race Results

Next Tuesday club night (25 June) we are arranging a ''familiarisation run'' round the 5K route , which is a new route this year ( due to the closure of some of the bridges in Cuckoo Hollow) . So if you are marshalling the course on 10 July come and join us to get familiar with the route. 

The draw for 5K marshals  for the free place in the Sandringham 10K was made last night ( Tuesday 18 June).

The winner of the free place is Issy Thomson.

The draws for the other free places at Whitemoor 5m, Sawtry 10, Fen 10 and Folksworth 15 will be made next Tuesday ( 25 June). The draws are open to members who are marshalling the 5K on 10 July.

Deadline for entry in the draws is Sunday 23 June  - contact wjchairman@werringtonjoggers.co.uk 

Note for potential competitors; the new Polka Dot Races at Ferry Meadows look great but as yet do not have a course measurement certificate, and as such, cannot be accepted for Records or Standards. I'm sure if they are successful and popular (and we hope they are) they will become measured and certified, but in the meantime, have fun !

Latest standings in the Senior Club Championships are available.

Congratulations on setting new club records at the 2024 Championship Mile Event last night;

Ann Wood - LV60 - 7:12:93

Gill Holmes - LV70 - 13:46:08

Mark Dujon - MV50 - 5:27:90

Jeremy Green - MV60 - 6:18:88

Jim Fell - MV75 - 8:14:47

All records relate to the age group on the date of the race, but members will have participated in races relating to their championship category, which is determined by their age on 1st Jan.

The results for yesterdays Senior Mile race are now available here

Dear members

Firstly a big thank you to members who have already volunteered to marshal our 3K/5K event on Wednesday 10 July - we have had a good response to date, but still need another 25 or so volunteers, so please sign up if you have not already done so. 

As an incentive to sign up I am arranging a draw  (for marshals only) for free places which I have secured for the following events:

Whitemoor 5m ( at March)                14 July (same date as Thurlby 10K ( CC))

Sawtry 10m                                       8 September

Sandringham 10K                             29 September (CC)  

Fen 10                                              27 October (CC)

Folksworth 15                                  19 January 2025   ( 2 places) 

So if you have already volunteered to marshal or will volunteer in response to this message and would like to be entered in the draw for any / all above events please let me know by

•  emailing me at wjchairman@werringtonjoggers.co.uk
• adding your name to the lists I will be bringing to Tuesday club nights

Deadline for entering the draws is Tuesday 18 June , with the draws being made at club night on Tuesday 25 June.

This is only open to members who volunteer to marshal so please don't enter the draw/s if you are not planning to volunteer. 

Here is the original message from Shona and Terry regarding the event , and the link to register as a marshal: 

Werrington GP Series 10^th July 3k and 5k – marshals needed.

We are hosting the GP series 3k and 5k on the 10^{th of} July and are seeking marshals to be at the Werrington Sports Centre from 17:45 to assist with this important event for the club. Both routes are new this year due to traffic issues. There are a range of roles available at the start, finish and out on the course. You will be given a full briefing before on the night, and we will share a list of who is assigned to each marshal point in advance so that you can see where you will be. Family friends and family members are also very welcome as we need a similar number of marshals to previous years.

If you have a favourite spot or role, please let us know. As the routes are new you may be assigned to somewhere new. Also, if you would prefer to be in a pair or with someone else, do also respond on that basis. We will try to avoid putting people out on their own, but there are a couple of places where this may be necessary. We will check that you are happy and comfortable with that.

How to volunteer – please send your details to werringtongpseries@gmail.com including your phone number. We are going to set up a temporary WhatsApp group for the evening which will be removed afterwards. This lets everyone know when the race has started and other bits of key information as the races progress.  Thanks!

We are looking forward to the event being a success for the club and we hope in advance that you enjoy the event too!

Looking forward to hearing from you.    Shona (Lead Marshal) and Terry (Race Director)
