Hello Clare Castle parkrunners

As it was so popular last year, we are hoping to do our New Year's Day parkrun at 9am. This should allow you to do the Haverhill or Great Conard parkrun after.

We are doing this as long as we can get enough volunteers, so if you're not running/walking but would still like to take part, please drop us an email at clarecastle@parkrun.com.

Kind regards,

Clare Castle parkrun

This week 133 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 19 were first timers and 19 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 16 different clubs took part.

The event was made possible by 23 volunteers:

Sarah BEVAN • Ned GEMMILL • Louise DUCKLING • Ronald BAREHAM • John HUSBAND • Charley SOUTHERNWOOD • Marilyn BEVAN • Ivy WILLIAMS • Robert SIEVEY • Jo BIRCH • Richard SMITH • Derek BLAKE • Dave TERRY • Valerie BLAKE • Anya RUSSELL-YARDE • Lucy LAWSON • Leah RUSSELL-YARDE • Luke WITHERS • Nicola MOSS • Lennie MOSS • Dennis BIRCH • Martin TARRANT • Tom CULSHAW

COMPETITION TIME

Colchester Stampede 10k  is coming up on 19th May at Colchester Zoo. As a local parkrun, they would like to offer us 2 free entries for a couple of your regular runners. To be in with a chance to get a free place at this great run all you have to do is write your name on the paper which can be found at the scanning tent after our next parkrun. Names will be drawn out of a hat on the following parkrun at the beginning. If you are not there we will contact you so please ensure you leave your email address or number if you are not likely to be there again before the race. 

The run is also looking for marshals, if anyone is interested please let me know. We get £25 towards our parkrun for equipment per marshal, pretty decent.

Next week TRI SUDBURY return to take over, they were fantastic on the last one so really looking forward to having them back, cow bells and all. If you are interested in joining them please come along and take the chance to talk to the awesome team this Saturday.
