What do you get if you cross great company, great food and a canal cruise? The #MileShyClub Summer social!
Tonight our runners feasted on a two course meal and for once did not bemoan the glorious sunshine that lasted long into the evening. We had a tranquil cruise along the Bridgewater canal, right next to where our Sale Club usually runs. Earlier in the evening, we also had our first ever club AGM!
Sizzling hot!
A few brave and hardy souls took on the first Sale Sizzler this evening at Wythenshawe Park. This 5k race is known to "test the best of them" and we were not disappointed with this fast course. We even had an added bonus when coach Gordy won a pair of trainers! Very well organised race and lots of fun. We'll be back!

#MileShy Mark completes his first ever half marathon
Mega shout out to one of our super inspiring members today. 8 months ago, Mark joined the #MileShyClub as a complete beginner. With much sweat, commitment, and determination, today he completed his first ever half marathon at Wilmslow. Today's race was very hot so to have completed it in this weather is an amazing achievement. Many of our existing runners are eyeing up the Manchester half in October and we know that Mark's achievement today will spur them on. Do you fancy joining us too?
