Upcoming Events
Calling all Ladies!  Sunday 28th September is the South of England Road Relays at Aldershot and we need at least 4 women to run in the team. TVH has not had a women's team out for a few years and I think it's about time that we did. The course is only 3.5km, the standard is very varied and I'm volunteering to do first leg!! 

The Metropolitan Cross Country League kicks off on 11th October at Claybury (6km) and its also been a while since the senior ladies have had a full team out. On the 8th November the league will be on home turf at the Scrubs - lets get a good number of you out in that!

Happy running!  Lisa Blackman - Women's Relays Team Manager
