Deep water running sessions sponsored by ASRWC will start again on Thursday 1st October at 5.30pm for 1 hour at ASALC.
And then each Thursday following at the same time.
You will need a water running belt to take part. So if you don't have one, then see Greg at Intersport to order.
The sessions are open to all. Deep water running is the best cross training for running and also the best way to keep fitness while staying cool over summer.

Not the Monster 65 and 25 km
The Not The Monster event was a spectaculer success with about 100 people competing in either the 65 km ultramarathon or the 25 kilometre event.
Special thanks must go to all of the volunteers for making the event such a success, particularly the volunteers on the organisaing comittee and Marc Woods the Race Director. Legendary effort by all.
Special Congratulations to Ariarn Huston and Simon Duke for winning the 65 km event and Alexander Marcus and Georgina Beech for winning the 25 km.
A great morning was had on Sunday the 14th June with the running of the Telegraph Station Cross Country.
There was a great turnout and it was fantastic to see a number of people coming to an event for the first time.
Thanks to John for race directing and to all of our volunteers.
