THIS TUESDAY!

RRC’s bimonthly time trial is on! We take a step away from our usual surrounds of the Rochford area to grab some fresh sea air!

We look forward to welcoming runners new and old for our time trial.

Where we regularly do this event, it’s a great way to measure your progress, and how you’ve improved over the last couple of months, and hopefully our sessions each week help contribute towards this!

So come down on down! Chalkwell esplanade. Tuesday 28th November. 7:15 meet for a 7:30 start! See you there! 🫡

What a great weekend RRC had.

We had a busy one with our Southend parkrun takeover, with a team of volunteers and runners.

Then we had a host of runners running remembrance races on Sunday; team members running both the Stebbing 10 and Today I had an amazing experience running the Brightlingsea half.

What does the weekend hold for everyone!?

That’s got to be up there with one of our favourite races… ever! We saw PBs, members returning from injury, and first time 10Ks. The RRC family really came together on this one and we went out and smashed the Southend 10K!

Congrats to all that took part, the volunteers that gave their time and to City of Southend on Sea Athletic Club for organising! Also, credit to Kim Tobin Photography for the professional photos used.

We go again tonight for our first club session of the week; interested in joining the RRC family? Drop us a message and enquiry about our free trial!

What a beautiful evening we had on Tuesday night for a tough effort session over in Paglesham.

We did 1K efforts, and it really was breathtaking running into the sunset…and also because we were putting in 110% effort 👊💪😮‍💨. All washed down with a nice drink after at the Plough and Sail 🍻.

We go again tonight for another trail whilst we make the most of the late nights.
