Last Saturday saw our first ever ‘night edition’ of the Wacky Run series and for the first time we did a 5K distance. The Wacky Run is the brain child of and run in coordination with PB:Running and our ever willing band of fantastic volunteers. Runners are set off in groups according to their seasons best, with the slowest going off first and the fastest last. This gives everyone a chance of winning and an exciting finish for the spectators to watch. Thank you to all our volunteers, runners, and spectators from our July edition.

Results;
1st Emmy
2nd Allidu
3rd Yohay
Fastest Male Paul 19:00

Well done to Kat ran the Rat Race Man versus Coast in Cornwall at the weekend. Roughly 22 miles in distance the course had you up and down hills, and in and out of the ocean. It was a tough and endurance sapping race but just look at that smile on her face.

The Wacky Run 5K night edition takes place on Saturday 9th July at 20:30. The summer event of our popular Wacky series sees a shorter distance and a late start to combat the July heat. As always the Wacky Run has a staggered start with the fastest starting last and the slowest first, therefore giving everyone a chance to win as all the runners finish at a similar time. Come along for some fun and to see David who returns from his new job in Denmark to put on this race and catch up with some familiar faces. To enter simply visit the link in my bio, to complete the very quick entry form.

With few races taking place in the next three months due to the summer heat, PB:Running are finding alternative ways to keep our runners entertained at weekends. Last weekend saw our first ‘Hike and Picnic’. Meeting at Montgat Nord we had a lovely 10K walk through the hills between Tiana and Alella, before finishing off with a picnic on the beach, and a dip in the ocean. Thank you to all who attended.

Our next hike and picnic will take place on Saturday 16th July in Collserola, starting and finishing in Sant Cugat. Please book in via meetup.
