Doncaster's friendliest road and trail running club
Tuesday’s intervals session will be at the rail college – 10 x 90 seconds on – 90 seconds off.
After a warm up from Kev we’ll go down in two groups – for those recovering from injury or racing maybe enjoy a steady run!
See you all on Tuesday night!
This Thursday we’re running R6 – the 6.3 Mile route out North from the Dome and down Bawtry Road/Carr House Road and around Town Fields. Then it’s down Manor Drive to Bennetthorpe and back down Bawtry Road to Cantley Lane, which we follow along with Whin Hill back to Bawtry Road. Then it’s across the road and wending our way back to the Dome past Hall Cross. It’s a clockwise route.
We are awaiting English Athletics to confirm our allotted places in the next 10 days but the club should be entitled to 2 London Marathon places in 2020.
We will be organising the draw on Thursday 7 November before/after a club run undertaken by our illustrious El Presidente 😀
All members wanting to be included in the draw must provide proof of rejection from VLM by midday on the stated day.
To be eligible for VLM:
1) you must have entered the VLM as a first claim Harrier and have a rejection email
2) you must run the race as a first claim Harrier and pay next years subs up front and must have been a Harrier for the past 12 months
3) you must not have done the race within the last three years
The Club Secretary will check all eligibilities. Please send your rejection emails to Kev Taylor via FB messenger (if on there) or email chairman@danumharriers.co.uk.
Good Luck all Harriers!!
DAC have come up with an idea of a club relay race in honour of Michael Wakefield, who sadly passed away at Doncaster parkrun last year. A nominal fee of approx £3 pp (tbc) with proceeds going to Michael’s charity.
It’s still in the planning stage but the format will be (starting around 1pm on Saturday 9th November):
Teams of 12
2 from each category run together
Each leg is approx 2 miles
Leg 1 – 2 x Ladies under 36
Leg 2 – 2 x Men under 36
Leg 3 – 2 x Ladies 36-50
Leg 4 – 2 x Men 36-50
Leg 5 – 2 x Ladies over 50
Leg 6 – 2 x Men over 50
It’ll be a great day, lots of local running clubs coming together for a great cause.
Please let Lynn or Adi know if you’d like to be in a team – we’d love to get as many there as possible – Harrier takeover 💙💛
ATTENTION TROOPS! Exciting news just in.
After many months of waiting, we can now say that from Tuesday 8 October Danum Harriers Running Club’s official base will be the shiny new Cycle Hub at the far end of the Dome. On club nights the Hub will be will be open (and staffed) from 6:00pm to 8:30pm, we have access to toilets, a small cafe, showers and changing facilities including lockers. One of the main benefits of the hub is that we will at last have somewhere to gather inside before our runs if the weather is bad. This is a fantastic new facility for the club, and is something which I’m sure will be much appreciated by new and existing members alike.
Best car park to use is Car Park 4 which is the last one on Booth Avenue (runs parallel to Bawtry Road).
So, next session on Tuesday 8th October is 6:25pm from the Hub for those wanting to warm up and the usual time of 6:45pm for the main session.
