20th July - Trentham 10
The next event in the Grand Prix series is the Trentham 10. This is a tough 10 mile course and is ideal for runners stepping up in distance from the 10K. ideal for anyone with marathon ambitions. Entry forms are on http://www.trenthamrunningclub.co.uk/docs/Trentham%20Ten%20Entry%20Form%202008.pdf and you can enter online at http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/events/registrationinfo.asp?sp=&v=2&EN=41715. As far as I know entries are still available so if you have not already entered then get your application in.
6th August - Time Trial
The August Time Trial will start at 7.30. Try to get there earlier as now we have such a large number of runners we need to hand out running numbers. Please bring your own pins.
13th August - Staffordshire Knot
This is one of the popular club events of the year. It is over a 5 mile cross country route through Cannock Chase. Well worth a run.

31st August - Belvedere 10 K
The eighth race in this years grand prix series is the Belvedere 10K in Burton. his is the first year this race is included so give it a try and let us know what you think and is it worth continuing to include it in future years. Entry forms available on http://hattondarts.co.uk/. I do not think that on-line entries are available.
7th September - Lichfield 10K Road Race & Fun Run
This is the big one. It is your chance to put something back into the sport. The race goes from strength to strength and this year we are expecting over 1000 runners, we had 960 last year.. We can only put on this race with the support of you all so if you have not already replied then please get in touch with either Andy Ritchie or Alan Pritchard and let them know that you are available for marshalling or help in advance of the day putting up posters road signs etc.
