Club Nights

Hi all, forms for next week are up. Please put your name down if you’re coming!

On Tuesday we’ve decided to do a social run instead of intervals. There will be two groups to choose from, both easy paced (one easier than the other 😄).

You’ll need a headtorch! (If you don’t have one, please ask and we will try and arrange a loan for you – although they are a worthwhile investment and recommended for most runs over winter.)

The route will be flat and mostly tarmac, but there’s a small section through woods. The route is around 6.5 miles, with options to cut short – which will almost halve the distance.

We normally stop for a drink on Thursday nights, but will also head into Icebreakers on Tuesday after the run for a change, too.

Thursday’s route is R10 (Hare and Hounds route) and is just under 6 miles.

Have a great weekend, hope to see some of you on Sunday at Donny 10K (or at Whitby’s for some 🐟 and 🍟 soon afterwards – or at the Wool Market in town from around 12:30 onwards).

Good luck to everyone who’s racing!

Hi all, the form for Tuesday is up – please fill it out if you’re coming down!

Tuesday’s session is the final interval set before Doncaster 10K and will comprise of:

6, 4, 2 and 1 minute efforts, each with 90 second recoveries.

We won’t be here on Thursday! It’s Scully’s away run from The Ivanhoe in Sprotbrough. Details are on the events page in the Facebook group, or see the previous post on the site here

There will be two routes, one approx 5.5 miles for two groups and a shorter one approx 4ish miles for a third group.

We will meet at 6:30 for a 6:45 start.

Don’t forget your headtorch!

Afternoon all, forms for next week are up! Please ensure your names are down if you’re coming.

Tuesday’s session is to be 10 x (3 min at ~10K pace, 90 second recovery), from the Rail College.

Thursday’s route is R9.

A reminder that we often end up in the Icebreaker afterwards for a drink on Thursdays, all welcome.

If you entered the TCS London Marathon 2023 and were unsuccessful here’s how to enter the Club Places Draw.

The eligibility criteria for the TCS London Marathon 2023 Club Place(s) Draw are as follows:

1. You must have entered the TCS London Marathon as a first claim Harrier and have a rejection email. The rejection email must be provided as evidence of entry.

2. You must run the TCS London Marathon as a first claim Harrier and pay next year’s subs up front (applies to reserves too) and have been a Harrier for the past 12 months.

3. You must NOT have run the London marathon within the last five years.

4. You must be able to run the TCS London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April 2023 so check that you do not have any other commitments, and that you are injury free to be able to train for the race. Any deferrals reduce the number of places that the club is issued for the 2024 London marathon.

If you successfully obtain a place through the club draw, you must complete and pay your entry fee by 16:00 on Tuesday 20th December (there are no extensions to this deadline under any circumstances).

The deadline for submitting your entry to the Club draw is 16:00 on Tuesday 15th November.

The Club Secretary will co-ordinate the Club draw and the Chair will make the draw. The draw will be made on Saturday 3rd December at the Club’s 10th anniversary celebrations, as part of the AGM.

If you are successful in the draw, you will be representing the Danum Harriers Running Club at one of the World’s Major Marathons, which is both a privilege and an honour.

Note: We are hoping to be allocated two club places and will receive confirmation by the end of November.

If you are eligible to enter the Club draw, then private message Amanda Lane or email secretary@danumharriers.co.uk along with your name and a copy of your rejection email as evidence.
