====================================

Website worth a look - fetcheveryone.com

Have a checkout of fetcheveryone.com - its an interesting facebook-meets-runners world kind of website, who's aim is to setup an online running community.
It allows you to put as much or as little information about yourself/races/pbs/training/goals etc on the web as you want.
Interestingly there's a section for runners near you....we've registered Garioch Road Runners as a running club on it and listed the Bennachie Hill Race.....who knows, it might encourage some like-minded runners in the area to come along to a GRR club run sometime.

What's Up This Week
Tuesday Evening...

Club Run round Inverurie.
Usual Meeting time of 6.30pm at the foyer in the Garioch Sports Centre.
There's a choice of distances including 5m/6m/7m & 8.6m & even the odd hill for added fun.
GRR also has an arrangement with the sports centre for free use of their changing & shower facilities (just say you are with GRR at reception).

Thursday Evening...

Club Run round Inverurie.
Usual Meeting time of 6.30pm at the foyer in the Garioch Sports Centre.
Despite the less than ideal running surface, this isnt as bad as it sounds; its fully lit throughout, and at this time of year a clear crisp autumnal evening can be quite refreshing.

Saturday 23rd

Club run from Esson's car park, Bennachie. Meet at 8.30am for an off-road run on our favourite hill.
Its been a bit nippy the last couple of saturdays with the frost not quite lifting, but the scenery has been absolutely stunning with some cracking views of Lochnagar set against clear blue skies.....

Sun 24th
There's the Tri-Changing Gear Bennachie Duathlon.
3k run / 10k bike ride / 3k run.
Race starts at 11.30 at Bennachie Centre, Bennachie

Have a great week.

Run Long and Taper.
The GariochRR team.
Help Wanted: Garioch10k
The folks that organise the Garioch 10k have been in touch asking if anybody would like to help out with the marshalling of the Garioch 10k on the 13th of April.
They need about 20 in total but if we could provide any it would help. They are using timing chips this year and will need a few people at the end to remove the chips from the ankles of knackered runners.
GRR's Ian Cran is your contact if you can help out. Ian also tells me that a couple of us are needed to go out on the course early on race day morning to mark up the course.
