The Sunday run this week will be in Castlewellan at 8.30am. This will be the first trot around what might be the course of the 2011 Christmas Cracker. Marty McVeigh will lead the run and the run will be followed by light refreshments (payable locally!) in Bilbo’s shortly after 10am.

The club session on Tuesday will be 5 x 1 mile efforts. The miles will follow the route of the 5 mile handicap. There will also be an alternative session at the same time in Donard Forest for those athletes with injuries that make hard road sessions difficult. Both runs will leave from the Newcastle Centre at 6:30pm as usual. Runners heading for the hills are reminded to bring their head torches and runners participating in the road session are reminded to be as fluorescent as possible!
