Club Nights

At the AGM, during the awards section of the evening, we’ll be presenting the Parkrun Tourist Trophies and Club Championship Trophies – 12 trophies in total. This will culminate with the awards for Runner of the Year (Female) and Runner of the Year (Male), and Harrier of the Year. This is where we ask you for your nominations.

The criteria are as follows:
Runner of the Year (ROTY) – a trophy awarded to the Male and Female ROTY. In your opinion which male and female runner you think have had the best year running – (2021/2022). This can be success as in trophies, personal bests, success as in their own personal running journey, or the most improvement in their running.

Harrier of the Year (HOTY) – one trophy awarded to the person (female or male) who you feel is representative of the Club. They may have gone that extra mile for the club, fellow club runners or the running community.

To help you make your choices it might be worth reading some of the “This Month’s Mentions” in the previous DH newsletters (these are all available from the DH website in the members’ only area).

You can make your nominations online. Here you’ll be able to name your nominee(s) and importantly your reason why, as it’s great for the recipient to know why their fellow club members have voted for them. By the way all nominations are confidential.

The closing date for nominations is 16:00 on Tuesday 15th November so please get nominating.

Another reminder that it’s the club race at the Cycle Hub on Sunday. Race begins at 1pm, come up to an hour before to warm up and get ready. Bring family if you like! The cafe should be open. This is a great opportunity to run hard in a closed, fast, flat environment over a 5K UKA certified distance that we’ve had specifically measured.

Andy and Emma are providing their professional timing services (https://www.facebook.com/SeasonsBestUK) for us at no cost, please support them and the club by attending if possible – it will serve as a test run for future events.

The forms for the week are up. Please make sure your name is down if you’re coming out to play!

On Tuesday, you should be pooped from your efforts on Sunday and so we will be trying something different per Nick’s post in the Facebook group. Basically we’ll be doing a partial recce of the Doncaster 10K route, modified to start and finish from the Dome (and avoid repetition where necessary). This’ll be a social run – we may have up to 3 different groups depending on take-up.

It may end up being longer than 10K. We’ll try and work in at least one cut-short for those who might need it.

On Thursday it’s the turn of R6, Town & Bawtry Road, a route of just over 6.4 miles.
