Calling all Penny Lane Striders:

In response to a member request, we are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new social event: March Mile Madness!

Have you ever wondered how fast you could run a track mile? here's your chance to find out. On Sunday 20th March (1pm-4pm) all Striders will have the chance to come down to the athletics track at Wavertree and take part in our track mile event.

Heats will be organised on the basis of recent 5k PBs, with a series of races taking place throughout the afternoon. This will give everyone an individual mile PB. The winner of each heat will then be invited to take part in a handicapped final heat, with medals for the winner of this race and for the person with the fastest time overall.

Refreshments will be provided afterwards (details to be confirmed), and we would love to see a great turnout for this new club event. All we are asking is a contribution of £5 each towards the cost of the track hire and refreshments. You can sign up here:

Come and join us - all club members welcome! ‪#‎teampls‬

Just bumping this thread up the page as a quick reminder - let's get as many people involved as possible and make this another great social event for the club!

There will be a buffet afterwards at Aigburth People's Hall, so don't delay - sign up today!

Guys and gals,

Hop on board this great opportunity to test yourselves at something a bit different! I've never tried a mile in a track and haven't the foggiest idea on how to attack it!!!

However, I have a very solid and well formed plan of attack for the buffet! Go hard at the spring rolls, ribs and meatballs. Then finish off strong with a vol-au-vent or two, a quiche wedge and some wraps!

Fingers crossed...there will be no raffle heartache!

Hi everyone, the deadline to sign up for the March Mile is Tuesday 1st March - please don't delay. If you plan to join us, sign up via Web Collect in the members' area. It promises to be a fun event!
