C A S T L E   P O I N T   J O G G E R S

- Well done to all our members who were out in force last weekend. We had 11 runners competing at the Horndon 10k and 7 completed the Grays triathlon, including Ian, Tony and Nick who all made their tri debuts, and special mention goes to Ian who was brave enough / foolish to do both events ! Well done.

 

Don’t forget it’s that time of year when our thoughts turn to 10ks. It can only mean one thing. The Eamon Martin trophy series is in full swing, so as well as the new ‘All Rounder Trophy’ you can also pick up points in all the local 10ks up to and including the final which will be the Southend 10k in October.

 

After some initial teething problems with England Athletics new registration system they seem to have resolved the problems (hopefully) which means we can now access all our records on line. If you have paid the £5 registration fee and not yet received your official card please let Mike know and we will look in to it for you.

 

A big thank you to Kate, who has taken over Sarah’s role, so will now be taking care of the Christmas party and the club shop. If you want tickets for the Christmas dinner please let Kate know ASAP as they sell out very quickly.

- New Trophy Series “Best All Rounder”

Castle Point Joggers are pleased to announce the introduction of a new trophy series. The format will be as follows:

- Five different race distances have been selected, all of which should be manageable by all.

These will be 5k, 5 mile, 10k, 10mile, and half marathon.

- There will be two races of each distance. This will give everyone a chance in case they are unable to attend one of the races. For example if you miss the Baddow 10 in May you can enter the Tiptree 10 in October. If both races are run the fastest time will count towards the championship.

- Points will be awarded for finishing positions then added up for the winners. Men’s and ladies trophies will be presented at the AGM in November.

- The chosen events for 2008 will be:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Races that are part of the series are marked in red on the fixtures list.
