Hello lovely VRB's. It's that time of the week again. Drum roll please - yes it's pompom time!

We have some fabulous folk heading out this weekend and coming week, so please gather yourselves together, and let's show them some top level support!

First up, on Saturday 11th we have two wonderful runners crossing the start line:

Jogger22 will be running the Saturn - We Will Remember 2023; a timed challenge, run in laps around lee Valley Country park; good luck with your 10k target and putting injury behind you Jogger22

Hedgehogs123 will be venturing into the dark for the Rutland 10K night run; this event promises a great atmosphere and spectacular views along the beautifully lit course around Rutland Lake.

Then on Sunday 12th, we have:

Reggit , tackling the Lytham Windmill Remembrance 10k; so long as the sea breeze isn't against you, this fast, flat coastal route may just help you to your sub one hour target - good luck fyldecoastrunners.com/windm...

And finally, on Thursday 16th, we have a mid-week racer:

MissUnderstanding will also be venturing into the dark, this time for the Severn Bridge 5 Night Race (5 miles) ; with glow sticks and glow in the dark makeup this should be a jolly jog indeed! Have fun Miss U!

Oh my, what interesting races we have this weekend. A special well done to Jogger22 and Reggit , who are running in remembrance . I’ve often done the RBL Poppy Run but it’s not on this year.

And 2 night races for MissUnderstanding and Hedgehogs123 ! They do sound lovely and very different. I wish you a still, dry evening. Having done the Severn Bridge 10k and parkrun, I’d just love to run it in the dark with glow sticks. You will have so much fun.

Wow!! What a line up!! Enjoy your days and nights! Night runs can be amazing. I look back on my night run up to the top of the Wainstones on a clear and frosty night about 3 years ago. It was so clear; I have never seen so many stars. I hope they put in a stellar show for you.πŸ™‚

Can’t believe my pom-poms aren’t out yet. Poor show on my behalf; I’m usually out shaking them around nice and pronto. Nonetheless, they’re out now, shaking away enthusiastically for you wonderful runners! Good luck to you all, night or day, and be sure to have a blast. You’re all rockstars! ❀️
