On Thursday 13th April the club held its second #runandtalk organised by the club Mental Health Ambassadors (Melanie Whittaker & Kim Eastham).
14 people came along and had a lovely run along the Middlewood Way on a sunny evening. There was a great atmosphere with lots of opportunity to ...run and talk!
As usual it all ended with cake...
Thanks to everybody who came along to enjoy the run and support,
Mel & Kim

The 2017 Forest 5 (Wednesday 19th July) is filling up fast. As club members may be aware there is an inter-club competition at this event with a least 4 clubs taking part.Â
If anybody from the road running groups are interested in entering for some local club friendly rivalry, please enter as soon as possible (www.forest5.co.uk) as the race will soon be promoted in the Macclesfield Express as part of a series of articles profiling different elements of the Club.Â
Also, a gentle reminder that Club Vests must be worn when racing (only runners in club vests count in the team event).

From organiser Rachael Lawrance... Rainow 5 Fell Race is on Wed 3rd May from Rainow Insititute.
More details here . http://fellrunner.org.uk/races.php?id=4814
I would encourage everyone to run who wants to... but also ask if anyone who is not running if they could marshall and help make this a successful local race please. All funds from the race are donated to local Rainow charities and mountain rescue. Last year i think over 40 harriers ran and also over 15 helped out so thank you!

The first race is nearly upon us. Herod Farm starts with a tough longish climb down and around a steeper shorter climb (save some for this) and a blast downhill back to the start point. It’s just 3 mile so 14 to 17 year old's can enter but need parents/guardians to sign consent on the entry form on the night.
