#SRC4NHS
Yesterday Shepshed Running Club held a "virtual relay" to raise money for the NHS. 48 runners completed separate solo 30 minute runs from their homes on the hour and half hour starting at 4:30 am and finishing at half past midnight covering a total of 157.18 miles! With an initial aim to raise £150 from each runner donating £5 we ended up raising £1080.39 by the end of the day thanks to donations from friends and family. Donations can be made here This was a remarkable achievement and an excellent display of our members dedication and support for our NHS heroes on the front line. Well done and thank you to all our runners and supporters and special thanks to Anita Badock for the inspiration, Stuart Taylor for setting up…
Corona Virus Announcement
It is with great sadness that following government advice we are suspending club runs for the foreseeable future. We are effectively pausing membership fees for existing members until we resume club nights, so we will not ask for renewal until we have had a full 12 months worth of active membership. If you haven't paid yet then please wait until we resume club nights. Running in the fresh air remains a healthy thing to do but within the guidance of social distancing. Please stay safe and look out for family, friends and neighbours.

News Update
Thanks to everyone that attended the Club AGM. We are working on the minutes and they will be posted on here as soon as they are ready. Unfortunately the Cross Country race due to be held at Bagworth on Sunday 16th was postponed due to the effects of two significant storms. If it can be rescheduled the information will be posted in the relevant pages. This was entirely the correct decision. The safety of not only runners but race organisers and marshals is more important than racing. Keep safe and dry if you're out running this week!
