And we're back! The October target race, @abingdonparkrun, had some good rewards to go with the effort on a nice autumn morning. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🍁

With a >5 min spread in finishing times 🤯, our monthly handicap race 🏁 had it all: twists, turns, even an improver! Check out all the details here: https://t.co/7bwGOfvLZC #StormRunners #RaceDay

[OUCH Running Club @OUCH_Running]

We did it! At least 7 OUCH runners (with a smooth sub-20' time to lead the way for us from @JasonandthePNG 😉) and 1 mighty marshal too 😎 We even got a free ☕ for our troubles, all in all a pretty good start to a 300+ strong #parkrun #1 🥳

Success! Neither wind nor mud were any match for our desire for ☕ and nibbles 🥐. #loveparkrun #OUCH #TargetRace #CoffeeTime

[OUCH Running Club @OUCH_Running]

Not only is tomorrow a #parkrun day, but it is also our first OUCH target race of 2022!🏁🥇🥈🥉 We'll be heading to the @abingdonparkrun and celebrating (or commiserating) together over a ☕ in the town square afterwards - likely R&R. Hope to see many members old and new there 😊

[OUCH Running Club @OUCH_Running]

1h to go! 🤩 May the wind be at our backs 🌬️😁

@jolyonreburn @victoriabennett @parkrunUK @Didcotparkrun @didcottownfc cOUCH to 5k and back again? 😁

[OUCH Running Club @OUCH_Running]

OUCHers love a good @parkrunUK (and don't say no to reward coffee either ☕😍). @Didcotparkrun near the grounds of @didcottownfc was one of our targets today. How about the rest of you? 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

If you are wondering about our race and course below, the OUCH handicap has been going on since the mid 70s (read more here: https://t.co/shenPzbQ2a), with some lovely #stats 📈to go with that time frame 📉. There's a dreaded hill that splits the crowd of course ⛰️
