With temperatures currently forecast over 30c ☀️ at 7pm tonight and tomorrow (Monday 25th & Tuesday 26th May), we have decided to cancel both club runs this week. If deciding to go out on your own please remember to hydrate and use sun protection. Think about walking instead or it’s fine to postpone a session until the heat subsides 🌅
Currently Thursdays club run and Fridays track session are still on but will be reassessed later in the week.
