In my role as POOLE RUNNERS Membership Secretary, I am often asked, ‘why should you join a club?’ Perhaps the more pertinent question should actually be ‘why shouldn’t you join a running club?’ Ask any running club member what are the benefits, and the replies will be varied and plentiful. Club membership, with the coaching and training options that it can bring, often instigates big improvements in performances at all distances not just a parkrun day 5k. Training and running in a club of likeminded people, of all ages and abilities results in lifetime memories, new experiences, new friendships and lots of fun times! Just like parkrun, POOLE RUNNERS thrives because of its fantastic volunteers. Later this month will see the start of our 5 th Poole Park Couch to 5k programme, which has already seen over 300 take part, with many now regular parkrunners including some running and volunteering at Upton House today. POOLE RUNNERS has a superb reputation for organising successful local events. The first weekend of June brings runners and their families together for Poole’s largest running event - Poole Festival of Running. In its 37 th year and now a two day running festival weekend with the new Poole Half Marathon this year along with children’s minithons, Poole Hospital Charity 5k and Poole 10k. The event has raised tens of thousands of pounds for the Poole Hospital Charity. The Junction New Year’s Day Broadstone Quarter Marathon, with all proceeds going to the provision of sporting facilities and equipment for the youth of Broadstone. POOLE RUNNERS also organises the popular Upton House Summer Series. Six Wednesday evening 3.5 mile races plus a 1 mile children’s race for ages 4 to 13. The first race of this year’s series is on Wednesday 2 nd May. Finally, a reminder to all parkrunners, whatever the weather, club vest or not, if you want your name to be included in the results… DFYB - Don’t forget your barcode! 60
