Waterford Road Runners

Road Runners Winter League Week 5, Thursday December 14th, sponsored by  and

'Santa Hat Run great success!'

Sleigh Bells Ring
Or at least Santa hats were ringing, all the way up the Cork Road last Thursday night on 220 people's heads!

The Weather Outside is Frightful
But if you run in it you’ll find it’s not so bad. To be fair the God of weather calmed the wind and even eased the rain for the night so no one could use bad conditions as an excuse this time. This year’s number were almost double those of last year, proving that running as a priority in your lives is moving steadily up the ladder. That’s what we like to see!

You’d Better Watch Out
This year, WRL’s famous leather clad biker, traffic and sports correspondant, Matt Keane was on site at the RSC to witness againwhat he’s been advertising so well for the last couple of months. Matt was down to check out how our fundraising for the Lions Club Hamper Appeal went. Between entries on the night and our draw in Alfie’s after a total of 1200 Euro was raised and presented to the hamper appeal live on WLR the following week. Thanks to all for their generosity.

Should Old Aquaintance Be Forgot
Let ye, yer running be not forgot, or not be forgot, or forgot not. You get the point! Just because the Winter League doesn’t return until January 4^th, there’s no reason for you to undo all the fantastic progress you’ve made. Why not nip out for a couple of miles every second day just to stay in touch with your new found fitness and help stave off those turkey pounds? Don’t forget the Baldy Man run on New Year's Eve in Tramore. And no, it’s not where people like Bobby, Albert, Joe and Alan amuck, it’s for all to enjoy! The run starts at 11am with registration beforehand. Proceeds in aid of Crumlin Children’s Hospital. Also, on Stephen’s Day, Clonmel AC host their annual Tony O'Connell 4mile road race. A fast flat course and a great way to meet your running buddies and bemoan the huge amount of chocolate you ate the day before! Race starts at 12pm with registration from 11am.

Tidings
Bobby and Adele along with the rest of the Road Runner's Committee, wish to thank so many people for helping with this year’s Winter League, helping make it the best yet, that I’d probably forget all the names! Whether taking entries, helping with timekeeping or organising marshalls, each have made the League run smoother than ever. Our thanks also go to the Staff and Management of the RSC for their continued support and help. We couldn’t forget of course Emma Walsh and her crew at the Munster Express for giving us so much space and putting up with late notes!
On behalf of the many organisers and volunteers of the Winter League, I would like to wish all our runners a very merry Christmas and a peaceful new year. We look forward to more of the same next year.
