Club London Marathon places for 2023

29/11/2022

 
The club is eligible for an allocation of places each year for the London Marathon. This year it is two places. This is based on the number of our members who hold an EA Competition Licence.
 
The club committee has the discretion in the allocation of these places. In exercise of that discretion the committee will consider the following criteria:
  1. It is a pre-requisite that the applicant is currently a fully paid member of CHAC.
  2. Recognition will be given to the length of time full membership of the club has been held. There is a general expectation that such membership shall have been for a minimum of twelve months.
  3. Preference will be given to applicants who have received a rejection from the London Marathon ballot.
  4. Preference will be given to applicants who have not been awarded a club place in the London Marathon in recent years.
  5. Recognition will be given to applicant’s involvement with the club in recent years. This may include assisting in the running of the club and its events, representing the club in events and supporting training sessions.
 
Applications for a place should be made to the Secretary by email (secretary@chilternharriers.com) by Friday 9 December 2022, including the following information:
 
  • First name and surname:
  • Email address for contact
  • Date of birth
  • EA Competition licence number 2022
  • Rejected by London marathon – YES/NO

Santa Dash returns in Aylesbury

28/11/2022

 
On Sunday 11th December our Aylesbury Santa Dash returns.  

Dashers can choose between our 2.5k and 5k circular routes around the town, both starting at 10.30am.  To bring some festive cheer to the streets, all Dashers will be given a Santa hat to wear along the way and asked to dress in their best Christmas attire.  Every competitor will receive a medal and, as importantly, a well-earned mince pie at the finish! 

By taking part in our Aylesbury Santa Dash your club will be playing their part in helping us deliver excellent hospice care to patients in need across Buckinghamshire and its borders.  Florence Nightingale Hospice offers a lifeline to patients and families facing the most difficult of times and this is especially poignant at Christmas time. We support local families to be together at Christmas whether in the Hospice or in their own homes, being cared for and supported by our wonderful, compassionate nurses.  If each participant raised just £25, they would be funding an hour of nursing care.

The race will start at the Aylesbury Basin (next to Aylesbury Waterside Theatre and Waitrose), with registration at the Bucks New University building on Walton Street.  It costs £15 for adults and £10 for children – with our early bird discount tickets of just £12 and £7 respectively available until Friday 4th November. Register your place at

Hannah's Hot Stuff

27/11/2022

 
Good Evening Race Report fans. I hope you have managed to enjoy some (rare) dry weekend running, or at least limited yourself to drizzle if you did decide to go out in the rain. Here in Race Report HQ the cat is feeling very smug, all tucked up on the warmest blanket and having managed to get herself some leftover tuna for her supper.

As seems to be the theme at the moment, I’ve a few late entries from last weekend: firstly Charlie Wood, who sped his way round the St Neots Riverside Half Marathon in an exhausting 1.15.27 (Sunday 20 November), and I also wanted to confirm David Saul’s time for the Rugged Radnage 10k - 1.01.00. ​
