This week we had plenty of opportunity for our club runners to socialise both in their trainers and out of them. First, we had an excellent turnout for the Summer 9 – the summer variant of the popular Winter 9 route that navigates from Three Hills to the Leas, through the harbour, up Eastcliff, and back via Radnor Park. Next, it was all smiles on Friday as FRC members participated in the long-awaited track opening ceremony.
Then it was back to the trails for the Wye King Challenge, so named in memory of the chalk crown erected there to honour the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. The event includes both a 10k and a half marathon. Naturally, our runners took the latter route. Well done, all!
