🏃‍♀️ Parkrun away from home! 🌧️

This week, some of Shefford Runners headed to Dunstable Downs parkrun for a change of scenery — and despite the rain, there were plenty of smiles and muddy trainers! ☔️👟

Well done everyone who got out there and represented Shefford Runners! 💪👏

We still have some space on our FREE C25K course coming up if anyone is interested!

COUCH TO 5KM

On Monday 11th May we are starting our next FREE couch to 5 km (C25K) course, consisting of 9 consecutive Monday evenings, designed to take you from a standing start to being able to complete 5km without stopping. It will run every Monday from 11th May to 6th July, at 7:20pm from Samuel Whitbread Academy, and will conclude with a parkrun at 9.00am on Saturday 11th July.

This is perfect for you whether you’ve never run before, or whether you’re returning to running after years off. You need to be 18 or older (we have club members from their 20s to their 70s), a pair of trainers and the willingness to turn up every Monday regardless of the weather, and if possible to practice by yourself during the week.

Our run leaders (Pete, Gina, Sharon, Jonathon) are UK Athletics qualified and DBS checked and they will provide you with all the advice, support and motivation you need to succeed.

It’s completely FREE so what have you got to lose, apart from a few pounds and the odd inch here or there?

Each December for the past few years Shefford Runners have had fun “Running the Reindeer”, which is a segment set up on the Strava running app. It maps a route around Purcell Way, Elgar Drive, Britten Road, Tippet Drive and Shefford Millenium. Club members use the opportunity to donate to Crisis at Christmas who provide support for people who are homeless. This year we have raised over £500 bringing our total over the past few years to £1,710 including gift aid. Thank-you to the local residents who have tolerated heavier than usual footfall along their pavements, and Happy New Year to all!

The club has been contacted by Lily Hulland, who is British U23 and British Indoor Triple Jump Champion. She has launched a range of books to inspire young athletes and to celebrate women in sport.

The picture books are aimed at Primary age children and introduce real British female athletes as role models alongside fun, interactive learning about sport, numbers, measurements, animals & MORE!

Characters include Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson, long jumper Jazmin Sawyers, and indoor world champion pole vaulter Molly Caudery.

They are offering a 15% discount for clubs and athletes. So if you are interested then message me (Neil) and I’ll send you the discount code.
