Run from Folksworth. 10:00am Sunday.

We have had an invite from Yaxley Runners to join them for their Annual pre-Folksworth 15 training bash this Sunday. They hire the Village Hall each year, and runners from various local running clubs join them for a morning's run. It is an opportunity to see the course or to have a social run at your own speed with other joggers. The field does tend to split up, but their are plenty of people to run with. Most runners tend to run 1-lap which is 8 miles.

"Hi.We thought you may be interested in this event. Basically, it is a run from Folksworth village hall on Sunday at 10 a.m. for invited clubs. The more the merrier! Here are further details:

This Sunday is the 4th annual Yaxley Invite run from Folksworth Village Hall. This now annual event was started in 2009 by Carrie and Tracy organising a training run in preparation for the Folksworth 15 itself. We decided at the time to hire the Village hall and open it up to other clubs in the area expecting between 10 and 20 runners to turn up and were completely overwhelmed when 74 runners turned up….

It doesn’t matter if you aren’t training for a marathon as there will be lots of distances on offer; from 5 to 16 miles (although given the water levels at Morborne the route will probably be different).

The different runs will all start at 10am with the village hall being open from 9.30am. Tracy and Sarah Endicott have once again volunteered to be responsible for refreshments, therefore if you have any cakes left over or want to dabble at baking them, then please feel free to bring them along. The Village hall will remain open until the last runner has returned and has had some drink and cake regardless of the time.

Partners and children are also more than welcome to come along, either for a chat or a leisurely walk around the village (on-road)."

So there you are. Be there or be square.
