Endurance running meeting

West Cheshire AC will kick-start an initiative to boost endurance running later this month.The Chester and Ellesmere Port-based club are planning to benefit from an open meeting organised by club Officials John Driscoll and Chris Rhodes, to be held at Cheshire County Sports Club Pavilion, Upton, on Tuesday, February 24 (8.30pm start).
The pair have teamed up in a bid to generate interest in distance running within the club and are inviting current members to attend and express their views on the subject.
John Driscoll, a vice-president at West Cheshire AC, introduced Endurance Running Cup competitions for both men and women within the club a year ago as he was concerned about the dwindling number of members actually competing in road races.
The points-system determined Andrew Clague and Mary Radford as West Cheshire AC’s inaugural cup winners.
But now both John and West Cheshire AC’s newly-appointed road running secretary, Chris, are keen to build up the interest of distance running within their club.
The twin aims of the meeting are to try and decide how to improve performance and participation, and set the ball rolling.
Anyone wanting to attend the open meeting should contact either John Driscoll on [email protected] or Chris Rhodes on [email protected] at least a week before February 24 to assist with numbers for catering reasons as refreshments will be provided free of charge.
