😈🎢 DARE TO RIDE? 🎢😈

Dronfield Running Club invites the bravest of hill-seekers to take on one of the toughest half marathon road races in the country.​

The Big Dipper has a fearsome reputation. A reputation that is well deserved.

There's been lots of DRC runners doing epic things in London today and doing the club proud, but a special shout out has to go out to Michael Kenyon (pictured running not in London) who has blown our socks off by running 02:24:49 on his marathon debut. 😳

THANK YOU to the 600+ of you who gave us your thoughts on a junior parkrun event at Sindelfingen Park. There was an amazing 99.5% approval rating.

Now, we hope the council listen to what you have to say.

"I am a mum and a GP. Events like this are so good on many levels: Community belonging, child health and wellbeing. Encouraging fitness and personal achievement are life skills."

Our junior parkrun consultation remains open until the end of March.

@rainbowchaser79 Thanks Claire. The consultation is certainly putting up a strong argument

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

We are proposing a weekly junior parkrun at Sindelfingen Park - but the council has denied the request.
We are now gathering your thoughts about the event - which aims to get kids aged 4-14 active. You can read more about our plans here:

[That big number 5 @Thisisred5Five]

Huge @TheBigDipperRun & @Great_Run FOMO today. But made up for it by reppin’ @DronfieldRC in Vegas. 🏃🏻‍♂️🐝

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

Sure, you've got to graft to get up there, but it beats Gateshead hands down. #GreatDronfieldRun 😘

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

Race day, DRC Style! 🤘

Huge thanks to everyone who came along, raced and helped out. Be sure to be following @TheBigDipperRun for more snaps!

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

Just one of them 👌 evenings to do a bit of running about.

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

@KimmyStriders @LondonMarathon @TheBigDipperRun They'll certainly be earning their points. 🆙⬆️📈🤣

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

Slow hand clap for @LondonMarathon for their decision to reduce club allocations by ~25%

Down from 1,980 to 1,515, most clubs allocations cut, some now needing to enter a ballot.

An excellent way to support and promote the life blood of the sport. 🙄

Right, twitter friends - let's get some numbers on this post for one last big push on @TheBigDipperRun entries.

It's got climbs, long rolling descents, stunning views across the Peak District, a pub at the finish and the friendliest vibe going.

@KimmyStriders @LondonMarathon Weak argument by London Marathon that is, not you. 😬

I see you have a few representatives coming our way soon for @TheBigDipperRun 😊

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

@KimmyStriders @LondonMarathon We're only getting 1 place with 186 members. Had two for the same number last year.
The 'places not used' argument feels like a weak justification to penalise the club's who do use and value them.

[Dronfield Running Club @DronfieldRC]

Runners everywhere, every Monday morning... 🤣
