Good Friday Relays Cross Country Sport Relief 2010… Rise to the Challenge!! Curly hair Training
Good Friday Relays
Woody is entering 2 teams for the Good Friday Relays on April 2nd. Each team is 4 runners doing 2.28 miles each. The venue is Newburn Riverside Park.
Woody has 4 people interested so far so if any others wish to take part then make sure you let him know so he can include you in a team. It's a good opportunity for new runners to try out a race. It'll cost you nothing but you will need a Strollers vest.
The women do a straight race over 1 lap, not a relay. If you're interested in doing it then see Captain Jill.
Cross Country
It's the final cross country of the season at Prudhoe next weekend (Sat. 27th Mar.) It's a proper cross country around farm fields and the like with no football pitches in site! If you want to do it and you haven't done one before, make sure you see Woody or Jill The men could do with a good turnout to prevent relegation back to division 2. The women could do with a good turnout to see if they can finish in the top 3.
It costs nothing to enter, the club pays, but you will need suitable footwear and a club vest.
See next week's e-mails for more details.

There follows a message from Sam Brown: Sunderland Silksworth Mile Join hundreds of local people at Silksworth Sports Complex in Sunderland to do your Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile. The course will take you around the complex, past the lively skate park and picturesque swan lake. It will be suitable for all ages and abilities, so there's no excuse not to enter the Mile, get sponsored and make a real day of it!
We are looking for volunteers to help out? Its the same route as our Sunderland parkrun route with the choice of 1, 3 or 6 miles, we'll be meeting at Sunderland Tennis Centre 8am to set up. The 1st lot of runners set of at 9am and the 2nd lot of runners set of at 11am, so far we've got 280 people signed up!! If you are interested please email sam.brown@sunderland.ac.uk. It would be great if you could make it.
I hope you'll join us in rising to the challenge for Sport Relief!

Maybe it's to warn you that if you take up running your hair will fall out? But at least you'll look better when it does!
