Dartford Road Runners are based at Princes Park Stadium and are one of the biggest road running clubs in Kent. We currently have about 150 members of all abilities. DRR teams have been recent winners of the Kent Grand Prix league, the Assembly League and the Kent Fitness league. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 6.30pm and organise runs on Sunday mornings. During the year we organise many social events including a summer barbeque, Christmas dinner and a week's training holiday in Lanzarote. We also organise weekend trips to run the European marathons such as Monaco and Barcelona. Our club race, the Les Witton Dartford 10 road race, is held every year in January and starts and finishes at Princes Park. Each year we have approximately 1000 entries. Whether you are a seasoned runner or want to start running come along on one of our club nights. You can join the training session or go out for a run with one of the groups. For those who have never run before we have a beginners group, meeting every Tuesday at 6:30. Just turn up and ask to talk to Julie or Dave who will be happy to welcome you to the club. You can run with us for up to four weeks before making up your mind about joining. New members please contact Alison Pitkin on mobile 07984 619187 or email Alison
LES WITTON DARTFORD 10: RE-ARRANGED 25TH MARCH Dear RunnerRe-arrangement of Les Witton Dartford 10, Sunday 25th March 2012 We have managed to secure a re-arrangement date for the Les Witton Dartford 10. This event will now take place on Sunday 25th March. We ran a successful race on a re-arranged date last year, and we are sure this year will be no different. If you are able to run on the 25th March, then you are automatically entered for the new date. Nothing has changed except the date. You will receive a further communication early March with race day arrangements. If you are unable to run on the 25th March, then you are entitled to apply for a refund. Refund Applications: Online Entrants Please send your name (as it appears on your bank account), name of your bank, sort code and account number in reply to this e-mail, and we will refund straight to your account. All details will be destroyed immediately post refund. Only the Race Director, Race Secretary and Club Chair will have access. Deadline for refund applications is Friday 21st February. We regret that we are unable to refund the 2 pounds runners world charge. This is simply unaffordable to us and whilst some people may be disappointed with us, we hope the majority will recognise that Dartford Road Runners are not a profit making concern overall, and that our ongoing financial viability is needed to exist, to provide affordable access to a running club in our local area, and to stage this event in future years, for the good of the sport as a whole. Refund Applications: Postal Entrants If you are unable to run on the 25th March, then please reply to this e-mail dartfordrr@googlemail.com with the following: - Name - Date of Birth (to distinguish between people of the same name) - Instruction - "Please destroy my cheque" (none of the cheques have been presented yet) - If you are a carried over entry from 2011, who entered the 2012 race free of charge, but cannot run on March 25th this year, then please state this and we will make alternative arrangements for your refund as we banked your cheque last year. The deadline for replies is Friday 21st February. At this time we will present the cheques and no refunds will be possible after this date. Please do NOT just cancel your cheque without telling us. This will just result in further inconvenience to yourself, as we will be phoning you to check whether or not you still wish to run. We are not carrying any entries forward to 2013. Sincere thanks for your continuing support for this event. We are determined to keep this event alive moving forwards regardless of increasing regulation, costs and lack of police support on the day. However we would like to point out, out of fairness, and because we have become aware of speculation, that although we have been unfortunate we take responsibility for this postponement. It is NOT the fault in any way of the police or highways authorities. The local highways officers are helpful and supportive. The police at a local level have their hands tied with regard to supporting races on the day, and are still helpful in an advisory capacity.
