DIARY
It’s a crucial time of year for us runners. The temperatures are dropping as quickly as our motivation levels and memories of summer runs have faded away. What to do? Booking a race, whether virtual or real, gives you a focus and something to aim for; a goal that will get you out the door on a drizzly November morning. Put the kettle on and see which of these races you fancy entering; dates range from winter 21 to spring 22. See you on the start line!
