CREWKERNE RUNNING CLUB
Welcome to Crewkerne Running Club We would like to wish all our members, friends and helpers a very Happy New Year for 2012 ---------------------------------------- NOTE. If you wish to contact us using the guestbook page is quicker and more reliable. See the news page for the latest newsletters. ------------------------------------ Please Note! This year we are changing the Crewkerne Nine and making it a 10 kilometre road race. Please see the Crewkerne 10K page for more details. _______________________ Sunday January 29th First club event of 2012 is the annual cross country run from Crewkerne to Charmouth. Total distance about 17 miles but various options available from Winsham and Hawkchurch. Leaving Crewkerne at 9:00 sharp. ---------------------------- Sunday December 18th Christmas time again! This years tinsel run was from Hinton St George village hall. After a muddy 6 mile cross country run we were treated to bacon baps and other festive fare. Great morning. -------------------------------------------- In a first for the club Clive Harwood represented CRC and GB in the international cross country events in Scotland. Clive was first over 60 and 12th overall. A really great performance, see the newsletter for more details. ----------------------------------- Sunday November 27th. CRC winter handicap race was once again based at Hinton St. George village hall with a good turn out of 24 runners. Against all odds yours truly managed to win... Is this the face of a man who has given his all? Now when I read the newsletter report I thought Simon was a bit harsh toward me! As I understand it I was handicapped such that there was no chance at all of me winning! But, this slightly overweight OAP managed to have a really great run and knock minutes off Simons predicted pace. Having competed in all but one of the 50 or so handicap races you can't say I don't have form.... Also if I had thought for one moment that I would win I would have gone to Waitrose for the wine, not Lidl!! Anyway it was a lovely sunny morning, no trace of the snow we had this time last year and the event was rounded off with hot drinks, bacon butties and cakes. Wonderful. Well done Simon you are getting really good at this handicapping game. ------------------------------------- Just done some housekeeping on this page but any of the deleted material can be found in the relevant newsletter on the news page. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Next CRC race is The Full Monty Cute December 4th.

Crewkerne is a small market town in South Somerset which is surrounded by some of the most scenic countryside in Britain. There are also a number of villages situated around Crewkerne and close enough to create a large catchment area for members. Crewkerne Running Club members are very privileged to have access to this beautiful area via a vast network of public footpaths and quiet country lanes for our training runs.
We currently have over 100 paid up members who enjoy club runs up to three times a week and various social events throughout the year.
The club organises four major events throughout the year which members can run in or help with the organisation.
Anyone who may be interested in joining the club is very welcome to come along and run with us and take part in events before joining with no pressure. Thursday night is traditionally 'beginers night' which should be a relaxed gentle run. We want potential members to know exactly what we do and how we do it.
