14 days to go until our CRWC team takes on Run2Paris.
In just two weeks, 20 of our members will head to London to begin one of the biggest adventures we've ever taken on as a club.
Run2Paris is not just about running.
It's about teamwork, planning, encouragement, problem-solving and digging deep for each other over four incredible days.
We'll have 4 teams of 5, with each team managing transitions, navigation, timing, support stops and the long road all the way to Paris.
Some members may even take on two legs in a day if they're feeling strong enough.
This is the sort of event that creates stories people remember for years.
We've already reached our fundraising target and raised over £8,000 for Parkinson's UK and Regain Sports Charity, which is amazing.
If you'd still like to support the team and contribute to the fundraiser, you can do so here:

One of the two charities we are proud to support through Run2Paris is Parkinson's UK.
Parkinson's UK supports people and families affected by Parkinson's across the UK.
That means funding vital research, providing information and support, and helping people feel less alone as they face the realities of a life-changing condition.
Our Run2Paris challenge is about more than getting from London to Paris.
It's about putting our miles towards something that genuinely matters.
We've already raised over £8,000, which is fantastic, but every extra donation helps us create even more impact.

Thank you for helping us turn this challenge into something bigger than ourselves.

What a night in Bishop’s Cleeve 🙌
Our Couch to 5K runners absolutely smashed their first non-stop 5K tonight.
10 weeks ago, many of them started with just 1-minute jogs…
And this evening, they ran for 45 minutes non-stop.
That’s what consistent, structured progress looks like 👏
Next week, they’ll move into our steadier non-stop running groups, continuing to build confidence and distance…
And we’ll be opening the door for our next beginners intake starting 9th May.
If you know someone who’s been thinking about getting started, this is exactly where it begins:
Support from others at the same stage
Guidance from a coach
And a structured, achievable programme that actually works
Comment Beginner and I’ll send the details 👍

This week, our current Couch to 5K runners reach week 10.
That means their first 45-minute non-stop jog.
For every member of the group, that will mean at least 5K.
It is a huge milestone.
And it’s also a reminder that beginners are capable of far more than they often think at the start.
With the right build-up, the right pacing and the right support, things that once felt out of reach start to feel normal.

Our current Couch to 5K group are now in week 7 of the programme.
That means they are well beyond those very early run-walk sessions and getting closer to their first 45-minute non-stop jog.
It’s always brilliant to see this point in the journey.
People who arrived unsure of themselves are now running for much longer.
People who once worried whether they could do it are now proving to themselves that they can.
That is what a good beginner programme does.
It helps you bridge the gap between walking and running in a way that feels realistic.
