Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you all!
Need some motivation to keep those new year’s training resolutions going? Well, dates have been set for this year’s Church Runner events.
Also, an exciting new “Pray as you Go” initiative (courtesy of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Carshalton Beeches) will also be kicking off at the end of March. This poster has the details…
Church Runner Events Diary 2015

Thank you all so much for coming, 40 ran for Chiltern, 18 for Good Shepherd, 2 for Vineyard Sutton, 8 for Holy Trinity Church Wallington, 5 for Emmanuel, 5 for St Patrick’s Tigers, and 8 for Selsdon Baptist – 92 runners in total! Oh, and two dogs.
Upcoming “Nonsuch in November” Mob Match
The Good Shepherd Runners cordially invite you to Nonsuch in November.
Saturday 15th November 09:00 at Nonsuch parkrun, Nonsuch Park, Cheam.
Virtual Mob Match (Sep 2014)
Running in Faith a Virtual mob match
Well this was the first ever national inter church ‘mob match’, so if you took part, that’s a little bit of history you were making!
In total there were 162 runners, across 27 parkruns running for 15 Christian running groups/churches – a massive turn out, nearly 50% bigger again than our biggest ever physical mob match. People certainly got into it and runners from Holy Trinity Wallington have already been asking me about the November mob match at Nonsuch parkrun.
Obviously none of this would be possible without parkrun – so a big thank you to them.
Results – Fun Run for ACT
The Reverse Roundshaw – 25/8/14 – Just a quick summary
At first it really was not too wet.
“Running In Faith” – a virtual mob match
The idea of the virtual mob match is that on September 20th as many people as possible get to parkrun for a church or church running club/group – but at any parkrun they want. Get out of church and go and run with a whole new community.
Fun Run for ACT (25th August)
Fun Run for African Child Trust – “The Reverse Roundshaw”
25th August 2014 @ 10.30am
This is not a parkrun, or a mob match, it is a pay-to-enter event to raise funds for the African Child Trust – it’s still 5k, and a chance to do the Roundshaw Downs course in reverse! The orphanage in Kagera, Tanzania we helped fund set up costs for needs ‘running’ costs to keep going, all standards of runners welcome.
