You are all cordially invited to race in a paarlauf!
What’s a paarlauf?
Well it’s a type of continuous relay involving 2 people (a pair) per team.
It’s an interesting ,fun and competitive way of undertaking a standard interval session.
The BRC Winter Paarlaufs will take place on Wednesday 27th December 2023 at Quayside, Blyth , NE243AG.,starting at 19:15.
Basically the quayside loop used on training nights will be the course.
Teams of 2 to run probably ( yet to be confirmed) 8 clockwise laps.
Teams will be randomly drawn on the night–one each from a pot of fast runners and a pot of not so fast runners!
Batons may be available …l’m not sure yet!
Safer and more pleasant course than previous years.
Still no changing or toilets.
Limited shelter but plenty of parking.
Sweets and chocolates may be on offer free of charge.
Lots of festive fun ,frivolity and friendship absolutely guaranteed.
Prizes for the first 3 teams.
1st team……2 x Start Fitness £20 vouchers
2nd team…..2 x Asda pkt of milk chocolate digestive biscuits.
3rd team…yet to be decided.(Re-gifting anyone?)
Team times will be provided.
Individual lap times are very tricky to get and so may not be possible so don’t build your hopes up.
Presentation of awards will be in Oliver’s Wine Bar( Annette Skelton’s local, she’s been going there regularly for the past 30 years!!!) at 20:20ish
