Virtual Mob Match (Sep 2015)
Our second ever virtual mob match, and this year we simplified the format a bit, so there was only one weekend to count runners from – this made for a smaller affair, but less cross-referencing trying to make sure we had picked the fastest time for each available runner. Despite this, we have still managed to be late with the results and report – apologies for that, ‘technical problems’.
In total there were 115 runners, across 33 parkruns (actually more than last time) running for 15 Christian running groups/churches – also we had our first ever international element to one of our mob matches, but I’ll come on to that shortly.
Obviously none of this would be possible without parkrun – so a big thank you to them.
It’s Virtually Time to Mob Match!
Following on from last year’s ‘Running in Faith a Virtual mob match’
We will be together virtually again on September 19th – clubs we know about have already had their invites and instructions, but if you want to take part give us a shout, all you need to do is just run any parkrun, anywhere in the world, and let us know within 48 hours and we will include you/your Church in the results. Please use the contact form to get in touch, or contact runners@chilternchurch.org.uk direct.
Reverse Roundshaw Reigns Again
The Reverse Roundshaw – 31/8/15 – Just a quick summary
I read last year’s report, and some of it still works this year, so I left it in!
At first it really was not too wet. It was actually dry this year until 10 minutes before the start!
See, no rain!

Jubilation in Selsdon
What a brilliant morning – by which obviously I don’t mean the weather, but a great atmosphere, lots of helpful and cheerful volunteers and a really engaging course, who could ask for more?
Roundshaw Mob Match (July 2015)
Thank you all so much for coming, 59 ran for Chiltern, 15 for Good Shepherd, 2 for Sutton Christian Centre, 10 for Holy Trinity Church Wallington, 13 for Emmanuel, 9 for St Patrick’s, 11 for Springfield, 5 for the Salvation Army, 1 each for Old Lodge Lane Baptist & Refresh (Molesey) Church and 23 for Selsdon Baptist – 149 runners in total. The Roundshaw attendance record was previously 201 – set when we did our last mob match there, but was pushed up to a massive 256, amazing numbers, and we seem to be making a habit of it.
Moor Runners at Woodhouse Leeds to more Fun
Woodhouse Moor parkrun (once known as Leeds parkrun) played host not just to the sterling Wrangthorn Church Runners last week but also to a selection of the excellent Christian Runners UK. Around a dozen in all.
Roundshaw Comes Around
Roundshaw comes around…
Two mob matches down, three to go, but the very next is Roundshaw on July 18th. As ever we coincide with the Roundshaw Anniversary (6th Year) so there should be a bring and share picnic after. Our expected presence was mentioned only this week. There is a rumour we may be running the course in reverse, as yet unconfirmed.
Last year we broke the course record, be great to do it again!
It will also be the second ‘Walkers Welcome Week’ at Roundshaw, so bring those who only want to stroll by all means, up to 1 hour 20 is fine, very doable for just over 3 miles. Register on the parkrun website and bring your barcode in the usual way for those folks though please.
We look forward to seeing lots of you, and maybe even some new club colours.
Jubilee 10k
The Jubilee Running 10K is being organised by Croydon Jubilee Church to promote the church in general (including its ministries) and to bring the community together for a fun and sociable event. Not forgetting the fitness element, of course. Proceeds from the race will be split between the work of the church and the British Heart Foundation.
It is taking place on Sunday 26 July 2015, starting at 9.30 am. Details of the run are included on the following web page:
http://www.croydon-jubilee.co.uk/running/
For those wishing to take part, entry forms are downloadable from the website. On-line entry is currently available via the event website, Runner’s World and very shortly via runbritain too. The maximum field for the event is 150 runners and walkers.
Many thanks and God bless!
