Outrun24 took place at Layer Marney Tower near Colchester and involved a male and female team running round a 2.5 mile course as a relay over 24 hours. Between the teams they knocked almost 300 miles claiming first prize in the large team categories for Male and Female. A great result at a great event in a beautiful location.
An Ekiden involves running a marathon over 6 legs with team members running either 7.2km, 5km or 10K. It took place throughout the day at Ipswich Girls School in Woolverstone and involved over 180 teams from running clubs from the East of England.
The Shufflers entered six adult teams and saw success in the junior competition with the Under 13 girls finishing 3rd overall. It was a great team effort and amazing atmosphere.
Couch to 5K Course starts on 4th September
The 8 week course is open to anybody who would like to take up running for friendship and fitness. It takes place at St. Mary’s school field, running laps around the perimeter track, ensuring that all paces are catered for.
A previous participant Lottie Williams really enjoyed the course “I was apprehensive at first, but the coaches ensured we went at a pace that suited each person”.
The course is free for existing Shuffler members and £16 for non-members. For more information, please email Kate at juniors@woodbridgeshufflers.org.uk
