Pre-London Long Run
2024-03-31 08:00 - 14:00
The run will start and finish in the main car park in South Petherton to take advantage of the flatter terrain it is just over 22 miles long. This is not a race but a training run that people can take at their own pace confident in the knowledge that there are drinks available at appropriate distances and if they get into difficulties they can get a ride back to the car park. This is an event which CRC likes to extend an invitation to everyone to come and enjoy and, hopefully, benefit from. At the end there are refreshments which seem to get bigger and more elaborate very year. There is no charge but if you wish to make a donation that would be welcome.

The run HQ is The David Hall adjacent to the main car park in South Petherton where the run starts and finishes. You can leave kit there, use the toilets and get refreshents there after the run. The hall should be open from 7.45.
To try and keep people from getting too spread out we would ask you to consider your running speed and pick one of the start times listed.
12 to 13 minute mile pace start at 08.00
10 to 11 minute mile pace start at 08.15
9 to 10 minute mile pace start at 08.30
8 to 9 minute mile pace start at 08.45
7 to 8 minute mile pace start at 09.00
The first drink station is at 5 miles and then at approx. every 2.5 miles. The route will be marked and printed maps will be available at the start. Marking a 22 mile route is no mean feat so please take a map and remember that only turnings off the route will be marked with arrows on the road surface.
Hot and cold drinks and snacks will be available at the end.

The Spring Handicap is the same format as the Monthly and Winter handicaps. Runners are given a predicted time to complete the course, the runners are then set off in order of predicted time, slower runners first, with the aim of everyone finishing at the same time. We will meet in the Co-Op car park in South Petherton with the first runners setting off at 6.30pm. The route is approximately 5 miles (8km) and will be clearly marked with arrows on the road.

There is the option of stopping for a drink and food at the Brewer's Arms afterwards.

A Facebook event will be created so if you intend to take part please click the "GOING" box on the event. If you are not a Facebook user please drop me an email at foofrosty@gmail.com to give me a chance to think about your predicted time. If you wish to stay for food please comment in the comments box so we can give the pub an idea of numbers.

Egdon Easy 10K Race and Social
2024-05-25 19:00 - 23:00
Having run this race in 2023 I thought it would be a great race to combine with a bit of a social event. The idea is to take part in the race and then spend the rest of the Saturday evening in Weymouth perhaps for fish and chips and a few refreshments. This is a flat 10K which would give the oppurtunity for a PB or perhaps just a gentle social 10K. There is a t-shirt and medal for all finishers. I will check the availabilty of using the Community Mini-Bus. More details and a Facebook event will follow.

Boat Out Run Back
2024-07-14 08:30 - 13:15
On Sunday 14th July we are planning a boat trip (courtesy of Lyme Bay Rib Charter) leaving West Bay at 9.00am. They will drop us off at Lyme Regis and then we'll run back to West Bay along the undulating 10.5 mile coast path incorporating the iconic Golden Cap. We will be guaranteed picturesque views along the way.

There will be at least 2 groups for the run back so pace is not an issue.

We can accomodate a maximum of 24 people for the boat trip (12 per boat). The cost is per boat so it will depend on numbers. If we manage to fill 1 or 2 boats then the cost will be £20 per person.

There is a video on the CRC Youtube Channel to give you an idea of what to expect from a previous outing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkaMWtuWDv4

If anyone is not keen on the boat trip then they are welcome to join us in Lyme Regis at 9.30am for the run back (need to sort lifts).

Minimum age for both events is 15 years or older.

The Cricket Club has excellent facilities with parking, changing and showers. The bar will be open and BBQ food will be available. Traditionally many people stay on after the race for a drink and some food and to catch up with other runners.

This race was first organised in 1989 making this the 34th year after missing the 2020 race due to coronavirus.

There is an antique solid silver cup dated 1908 which will have the winners name engraved but sadly has become far too valuable to be handed out. All finishers will receive a souvenir whiskey tumbler to celebrate 40 years of Crewkerne Running Club. Trophies and wine for first 3 men and ladies, men 40-49, 50-59 and 60+, ladies 35-44, 45-54 and 55+ , also a trophy for the oldest finisher in the 10K race.

We want this race to be as runner friendly as possible by providing maximum features for a minimum price, come and join us for a wonderful summer Wednesday evening. We are very happy to be able to keep the entry fee the same as last year!

If you need a paper entry form please use the contact phone or email and we will get one to you.

This has been designated as a 'cupless race', please bring your own reusable drinking vessel. However nobody will be at risk of dehydration due to lack of a cup! There will be up to four water stations on the 10K route depending on the weather.
