Social Events
Alchester Running Club organises a range of social events throughout the year. These include summer evening social runs held at local pubs in the area. In previous years, club members have visited Dublin to compete in a race and enjoy a weekend of sight seeing and socialising along with away weekends to Coniston and Hastings.

Otmoor is a haven for wildlife in the heart of Oxfordshire. The visitor trail
leads you alongside an expansive floodplain grazing marsh, home to wading birds
and wildfowl year round.
Hedgerows, bustling with warblers and songbirds, and the rustling reedbed add
to the immersive experience of being on the "moor".
You have an option of 4.5 miles flat around the Reserve (65% grass fields/
grass track/35% hard smooth track) or 6.5miles which includes 1mile downhill
(start) then around the Reserve and guess what ? 1 mile back up HILL at the end
! (25% road 25% hard smooth track 50% grass)

Hi everyone. Hope your running and other activities are going great. Just a quick food update on the First Alchester Social run of the 2017 season on Thursday 18th May at Red Lion Stratton Audley ( but no doubt you already know that part.. all going to plan). Food will be very nice indeed. Frank the Landlord has advised that it will be.
Cottage Pie
Vegetarian Lasagne
Salad
Garlic Bread.
(if anyone has any special dietary needs can you drop a line to social@alchester-runningclub.co.uk).
Frank the landlord wants to look after us so is also leaving the marque up for our use in the Beer Garden at the Red Lion.
A few of our stalwart members have already been out running the recon last night and all looks good. Further course checks will be undertaken across the MultiTerrain 5.5k and 10k ish course before our social.
