[Stadium Runners] Newsletter - April 2020

Hi

Welcome to the Stadium Runners Newsletter. We hope to keep you informed about what has happened and what will be happening in the wonderful world of Stadium Runners. Please contact me if it is still being marked as spam for you and I will try and help to resolve the problem.

Important Notice regarding Covid-19:

Based on government advice, and guidance from England Athletics, all Stadium Runners activities are suspended with immediate effect until the end of April. At this point we will re-evaluate taking into account the latest advice and guidance available.

To be clear, suspended activities include:

- Monday and Thursday training nights
- ‘Give Running a Go’ beginners course
- Awards Night
- Committee Meetings
- Annual General Meeting

Take care and we’ll look forward to running together hopefully in the not too distant future.

2019/20 & 2020/21 Race Calendars

Hi Team,
 
I hope you are all well!
 
I’m sure you are all aware of what impact Covid19 has had on races, our race calendar is no exception. The committee and I have had a discussion and feel it is pointless unveiling anymore races for next year until we know more as to how long this situation will last. It is an idea that we propose a ‘mini’ race calendar for 2020/21 concluding in March 2021 ensuring we get back to normality as soon as possible though that is purely in the planning stages until as a club we know more.
 
Discussions are underway regarding finalising this years calendar and I hope to update you all shortly.
 
Thanks
 
Matt

Sadly cancelled for 2020. Big thanks to Sam & Jamie for all their efforts in putting the team together. Roll on 2021.


Yorkshire Veterans’ Athletics Association

The Club is pleased to announce that we have affiliated to the Yorkshire Veterans’ Athletics Association for another year. This allows Stadium Runners over the age of 35 to compete in their YVAA’s Grand Prix and Championship races.

Sadly, the races currently have been postponed due to Coronavirus, but here is some information about how it all works, in the hope that YVAA will be back up & running later in the year.

The Grand Prix is a set of multi-terrain, regional races. Each organised by one the the associated clubs. The races frequently attract over 200 runners and are a great social as well as competitive outing. Cheap too!

To compete, a one-off series registration must be completed online at least 12 hours before your first intended race. Online registration will go live 3 weeks before the first race (race 1 is 21st March).

https://www.yvaa.org/grand-prix/

The Championship races are mostly incorporated within Open events which are being run anyway. However they are nonetheless enjoyable. A list of those races can be found here:

Club Subs 2020/21

Club Memberships were due for renewal in April. However, due to the current situation both the club & UKA will be deferring membership for the time being.

More info when Alison has it.

Thank you.
