Membership

Just a quick wee shoutout that hopefully by now everyone has completed the club renewal ( £45 included is either a t shirt or vest and ANI race discount) and that’s it for the full year. It is genuinely so quick and simple to complete over Spond and any issues just ask Amy Burns for help.

Races

Last week our Neil Martin was in Bosnia running the half marathon, this weekend he has travelled to Zandvoort race circuit just outside Amsterdam for a 10 mile race which included a lap of the track, beach run, and through the beautiful village with a very impressive time of 1 hour 39 mins! Amazing running tourism Neil and can’t wait to hear where your next running adventure will be.

Park Run

Well-done to 8 dee runners who were running either at Bangor or Comber this Saturday 28th March. Great running.

Monday Night Social

Back in October, 2 of us decided to start a little weekly 5k social run… now we are averaging 8 runners every Monday night!

We have powered through the dark cold winter with head torches and frozen fingers and finally the light night’s are here.

Meeting up every Monday has been a game changer . It makes Monday way less depressing and gives us something to look forward to. I love chatting and connecting with everyone. It really sets you up in the best way for the week ahead.

If you have been thinking about joining us take this as your sign!

Its not about pace or times, just getting moving and enjoying the company 💙

Strength and Conditioning

Don’t forget we also have our Strength and Conditioning class just for Dee runners which runs every Tuesday night 6.15-7pm at glow up gym in Bangor.
