A friendly running club, based in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk.
A bit of a journey for David and Kirsty who headed to Cambridge to be among the amost 8500 or so other runners taking part in the Cambridge Half Marathon.
It looks like the worst of the rain held off and both RntS have very good runs.

Bi big kudos to Glyn who completed the Belvoir Challenge XC Marathon yesterday.
Not wanting to make it easy for himself, he did it in boots and with a 35lb bergen!
In his words “Belvoir Challenge XC Marathon. EXO Mountain Gear Bergan with 35lb plus boots just to challenge myself a bit. Not a great time as there were a lot of bottlenecks with 1200+ people taking part but pleased I did it. “
Great work Glyn.
Official Time:
6:41 (TBC)
Well done to the awesome foursome who completed the 3rd and final race in the Thetford Trails series. By the looks of the weather (and the report from Paula that shorts would have been a sensible choice) it would appear that a number of seasons have been covered during this series!
As you can see, those that completed all three races obtained the full set of medals which join together.
Well done guys.
Official Times:
Paula – 48:48.1
Allison – 54:49.9
Chris P – 1:02:50.8
Ceri – 1:03:03.7
This Spring/early Summer, Runners-next-the-Sea will again be hosting a Couch to 5k course at the Alderman Peel High School.
The course will be about an hour long and will run on Thursdays 6:30-7:30pm. The course will finish with a 5k graduation run at Holkham parkrun.
The dates are:
Thursday 23rd May, 30th May, 6th June, 13th June, 20th June, 27th June, 4th July, 11th July with the parkrun graduation on Saturday 13th July.
The cost for this is £25.00 which will cover the 8 week course and also, for those that graduate, unaffiliated membership of RntS until the end of January 2020 (allowing graduates to take part if regular RntS weekly training sessions).
Members of RntS are welcome to join in and support this in any way possible and to also spread the word!
Posters are available to download from our Members & Downloads page.
The Facebook group for members of the course (and also helpers) is still at the same place – https://www.facebook.com/groups/RunnersNTSC25k/
I honestly think it will be difficult to run through such a lovely area on such a beautiful day.
The sun was shining, the course was in great condition and the organisation was great (although, a couple of extra marshals would have come in handy!). Drinks and snacks at the end were well received.
A big shout out to Glyn who whoop whooped his fellow RntS at the 1.5 mile to go mark. It was brilliant to see him on the course.
Nur was the only RntS taking part in the full Marathon today, while Amanda, Cat and myself did the half.

Brilliant running by Abbi and Amberly who represented Norfolk in the Anglian Cross-Country Championships.
In the Junior Girls class, Abbi completed the course in 31st place, and in the Intermediate Girls class, Ambie completed the 3.75km course, finishing in 59th place.
Well done ladies, a great running future is ahead!

It looks like the Reepham cross country whetted Glyn’s XC appetite so he decided to take part in the final race of the Horsford XC series.
It certainly looks like it ticks the XC boxes (muddy and wet!).
Maybe we’ll get some members doing all three next winter?
Well done to Teresa and Becky (honorary RntS for the day!) who completed the
Cancer Research UK London Winter Run today.
Teresa beat her time from last year and for Becky it was her first 10k run.
Official Times:
Teresa – 1:19:16
Becky – 1:19:16
Well done to Abbi and Amberley who both took part in the Norfolk Schools Cross Country Championships.
Good luck to both of them taking part in the finals this weekend.
Abbi will be representing North Norfolk, Amberley Mid Norfolk.
Official Results:
Abbi finished 11th in her age group in 12:05
Amberley finished 14th in her age group in 18:07
Awesome!
I think that word should describe perfectly the fantastic running by Lucy Mc and Glyn yesterday on the 48mile (!) Peddars Way Trail Ultra Marathon.
Both runners looked great at the various checkpoints and finished with a smile (just beating the wind and rain).
Well done to you both, we’re in awe of you!

Glyn – 10:10:16
