SOCIAL PACED RUNS – SPRING 2021
Given the recent easing of restrictions, we are pleased to announce the return of our popular social paced runs in April 2021
When? – starting Thursday 1st April January at 7 p.m., then Thursday 15th April and then the first and third Thursday of the month
Where? – we will meet at the public car park at West Lothian Cricket Club. We will operate three paced times over a 5k course, running at roughly 25-minute, 31-minute and 37-minute pace, with groups setting off at 15-minute intervals to ensure social distancing. We have created a route around Springfield, starting and finishing at the cricket club, with plenty of space for people to run and avoiding busy roads and junctions.Who? – the runs will be open to all (not just Club members). We will operate the runs via our Jogscotland group Let’s Go Linlithgow. We will have three groups of eight, including two JogScotland Jog Leaders, so no-one gets left behind.
How? – participants will need to become members of JogScotland (it’s easy to do and it’s free; please use the attached link to do this https://jogscotland.org.uk/joggers/join-jogscotland/
To book, we will be using the WiX booking app (participants will need to get this app, but it’s easy to get, and free – or you can access the website on a desktop – https://linlithgowac.wixsite.com/booking) . To protect the community, participants and jog leaders, these sessions are run under strict Covid protocols as prescribed by Scottish Athletics. As part of this, the sessions have staggered start times and each session has only six places which must be pre-booked. In addition, we are currently unable to accept bookings from anyone who does not live in West Lothian. If you have any queries regarding these protocols please contact the club’s Covid Officer on [email protected]
What’s next? – bookings via Wix for the first session on 1st April will open a couple of days before that date
