Tring Running Club have contacted us and invited us along to run with them on 1st May, sounds lovely.

Tring Running Club is hosting its annual invitational evening on 1 May and we would very much like to see your club members in attendance.

Some of your members joined us last year at our annual Ridgeway Run so we thought you might also be interested in our invitation evening.

Starting from Aldbury (a village near Tring), runners will join suitable and sociable pace groups and be led on off-road routes with Ashridge bluebells likely to feature, before returning to the village and retiring to the pub should they wish.

We will be meeting at Aldbury Memorial Hall (full address below) from 18:30 with runs starting at 19:00. We expect most groups to be back from 20:00-20:30. The after-run pub will be confirmed on the night.

Pace groups

There will be the following pace groups to choose from, however, this is a social run so no one will be left behind:

13s: Running 13-mins per mile pace, off-road for 3 miles.
