Well done to the 17 Portishead runners competing in the Clevedon 10km race yesterday evening. It was a perfect evening for running with some excellent results. Pat Foley was the first Portishead runner and closely followed by Tim Nabosi. Simon Faulkner was unable to keep up his record breaking run of PBs but still came in sub 40 minutes. Charlie (PB hunter) Hurcum also beat her PB with 42.16! Good results also from Nick Dyer, Charlotte Ward, Steve Corbett, Simon James, Richard Nuell, Jon Bonner, Linda Foley, Jeremy Crowhurst, Jo Gallagher, Matt Palmer, Chris Houlden, Pete and Judy Orme.

Take a look at the photos here.

Next club outing will be for the ten lucky runners competing in the Cotswold Way relay on 29th June.

There is a Mob Match 10km race taking place on 19th July 2013 on the usual Avon Towpath race of the GWR Towpath series. It starts in the park opposite the Bristol City FC ground and is a "there and back" route following underneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge. 

A Mob Match race is one where each local club races against each other and hence we require as many participants as possible from Portishead RC to compete. It doesn't matter if you're front or back of the pack, it is the taking part which is important. For each place where we don't have a runner (up to 25 people usually), we are classed as a last place finisher - so your time really does count!

Let's make the race as full of our Blue and Orange vests as possible.

Contact Helen Tunnicliff on a club night for more information.

There is a new cycling studio opening on Saturday June 1st and they have free sessions for you to try if you book online at www.foxcycling.co.uk with the promo code ‘foxy’.
Angela Reed-Fox, their Brand Director says:

"Our studio has the latest technology, not only are the bikes computerised and capable of telling you how far you’ve cycled, your wattage, your calorie output and your speed, but also if you use a Suunto chest strap, your stats will be recorded and emailed to you within 5 mins of the end of the class. 

We can also harness your competitiveness by racing against each other with the results on the big screen!
Other benefits include easy online booking for pay-as-you-ride or buying bundles of rides at a discount. 

In the meantime, try us out on Saturday with our free sessions! Do spread the word as there are only a few places left!"

Today sees the launch of a new website design for Portishead Running Club. But this is just the beginning. We have lots of plans to add to new content and improve it so that it is a better resource for our runners.

We have a new section which allows members to submit their own results to the website (in case we are missing them). We are also going to be loading new pictures and results as well as a calendar of different events which members can enter and run at.

Go to the contact us section to provide feedback or just comment on this post!

Happy browsing.

Will start in 2012!!
The Boxing Day race at Clevedon is always a popular race, we had 15 in last year! However it never makes the championship as it occurs after the Christmas meal and presentation of the trophy. 

Not anymore! It will start the 2013 Championships and will be a bonus race!
