Please follow the link Time Trial #5 results to see the results from the final time trial of the 2024-25 season.
The long winter evenings are at last drawing to a close and we will soon be back to the lanes of Denmead for training and (hopefully) enjoying the warm, balmy summer evenings. Our last training session of the winter in Waterlooville will be Time Trial #5 on Wednesday, 26th March.
Gary, our Head Coach has produced a very comprehensive training schedule for your enjoyment which can be viewed by following the link to Summer Training 2025
Gay has put an enormous amount of of thought into compiling this training programme to ensure that the range of age and abilities of all our members are catered for while their safety is of paramount importance. Many thanks to Gary for all his hard work in compiling this document.
Apologies for the silence regarding the final race of the XC season.
I now have confirmation & details of this race which can be viewed
PLEASE NOTE
The race date has been moved back to the 2nd March.
Directions, times & parking details can be found on the flier.
Although we’re not in contention for the top spot, there’s still a chance we can finish in the top 3 with a strong performance, so it would be great to field a strong team and finish the season with a bang.
As always, if you have any questions or would like to know more about cross country, please reply to this email or come and chat to me at training.

A little reminder that we are holding the food bank run on Wednesday, the 26th February. If you could bring your donations along on that club night then myself and Lisa will take over to our local food bank which I know will be greatly appreciated.
Don’t forget the AGM & Awards evening that will be taking place on the 28th March.
One of the categories is the Burtonian Award which I like to call the “runners runner” award.
This is where we put forward 3 striders and then it is voted for on the night. As we have done in previous years we are after nominations from you guys so please send over any names that you would like thrown into the mix.
This could be anyone – from someone that is particularly inspiring to you, you feel Red & Green running through their veins, beavers away in the background helping the club run or just someone that you feel is an all round good egg. Get your nominations over to us in the next few weeks please so we can start prepping for the awards.
