Oxford Blue
Woodstock Harriers is organising an event morning at Iffley Road athletics track, where the first 4 minute mile was run by Roger Bannister in 1954, for members, their families and guests. The track is in the process of refurbishment and we will be one of the first to try out the new super fast blue surface in a club mile race. The planned date is Saturday 21st September from 10 am. to mid-day, but this is dependent on the work being complete. The cost will be £10 per member to cover track hire, medals, food, etc. Each paying member can bring partners, relatives or one guest. Further details from Louis Warden.
Running for Beginners and Improvers
Want to start running or improve but joining a club seems daunting? Or maybe you used to run and need encouragement to get going again?
Woodstock Harriers is starting a series of sessions for people like you.
The series will fit into a “Couch to 5k” programme and you will be able to work at your own level with the encouragement of other group members and our Run England Leaders.
Where? We will meet at the Blenheim Town Gate.
When? Thursday evenings for 6 weeks starting on 9th May. We will meet at 6:20pm so we can start at 6:30pm.
Who? The sessions are for anyone aged 18 or over. If you can walk for an hour and jog 50 metres you will be able to benefit from the sessions. If you have not exercised for many years or if you have a health condition, do check with your doctor beforehand.
How do I join? Simply drop an email to woodstockharriers@gmail.com and we will get you signed up.
Is there a fee? Yes, the fee is £12 (i.e. £2 per session). If you subsequently join Woodstock Harriers we will deduct this from your subscription.
