Hello Green Army!!
There have been rumours circulating and I would like to confirm that yes!! After a three-year hiatus the blog is indeed back!!
Firstly, I would like to apologise, as I did promise to have this up the weekend after the Wobbler and I would like to say that I have been incredibly busy, but unfortunately there has been a fair amount of procrastination involved.
Nethertheless, better late than never, eh? Those of you who are new to the club may not be familiar with it, but back in its heyday the blog was a very useful way of finding out what other members have been up to and what races are on the horizon as well as reports from previous races.
I’m going to take care of the race report from the Wobbler so here goes.
Robbie Webster Wobbler Race report 2023
Robbie Webster Wobbler – Helsby Running Club
We always chuck in a link for the previous weeks parkrun results so you can keep tabs on the competition. See the link below
Parkrun
Full results for Helsby runners is at the link below https://www.parkrun.com/results/consolidatedclub/?clubNum=1721
We also used to have a google calendar which usually has all the local races of various differing flavours, but it’s not been updated for some time. Hopefully we can get this backup and running because it is incredibly useful.
Don’t forget Mike Fryer is hosting a track night the event will be on Friday 18th August at Ellesmere Port Sports Village and will be an opportunity for all members who have been enjoying our Monday track nights to test themselves over the Mile distance AND represent the club in some of our relay races.
Along with the mile events, we will be holding 2-mile paarlauf races (2 pair relay) and a 1600m Medley relay. The medley relay will be even more special as it is billed as the ‘Battle of the Sport Sections’ where we hope several our members will form teams and go head-to-head against our sport section friends.
The event will run between 6pm and 8pm and we strongly encourage everyone heads back to the sports club for some food and drink!

We are going to try to get the blog sent out weekly going forward, but races can be a bit thin on the ground during the summer months so don’t hold me to that.
If you do participate in a race, it would be great if you could send in a race report to the following email address helsbyracereports@gmail.com. A prize for the first race report!!! (Might be 4VHM socks, might not be.)
Thanks Everybody
Peter
