Runner of the Month

This time our runner of the month award goes to Alex Toll.

Alex is in fine form with a clutch of great times and placings throughout March: 1st overall at the Peatling Challenge (7 Mile), 1st MV50 at the Monsal Trail Half Marathon (in a cracking 1:22:45), and 1st V50 at the Oundle 20.

Well done Alex!

If you have nominations for runner of the month please send through to comms@barrowrunners.co.uk by the end of the calendar month. These are then discussed and voted on by the Committee.

Let Sue Taylor know if you want to be part of a Barrow team.

Coaches (still) needed

A great perk for Club members is the popular Thursday night structured sessions that our coaches arrange and run. However it falls on a small number of the Club's qualified coaches to put these on every week.

If you, or someone you know, already has coaching qualifications and would be interested in coaching at the Club, please let us know.

Either speak to Mick or email enquiries@barrowrunners.co.uk

Considering coaching?

The Club has and will fund members that pursue their coaching qualifications.

Again, speak to Mick if you are interested or have any questions.

Club charities

MOVE - voted 2019 club charity

Each year the club donates up to £1,000, plus proceeds from various events throughout the year to an elected charity. MOVE were voted at the recent AGM to be our club charity for 2019.

And we've received a thank you letter from the MOVE charity for our continued support:

To Barrow Runners,

On behalf of the MOVE team I would just like to say a huge thank you for voting to support MOVE as the club charity for the next 12 months. This will help us to support even more children and young people living with and beyond cancer. We wouldn’t be able to do the work that we do without your support.

Thank you again to everyone at Barrow Runners for all your support.

Best Wishes

Gemma Hillier- Moses
MOVE Founder
