Following last year’s success, we are doing it again, get your trainers on and join us for Quadrathon 2025!

Who will run fastest, throw the furthest and jump the greatest distance? Come and join us on Saturday 5th July (12pm — 4pm) at Pingles Stadium in Nuneaton.

It will be a fun day for the whole club and all Senior and Junior members of the club and their families are invited to participate.

The event will be similar to Juniors’ Quadkids events, with all participants taking part in a sprint, long run, long jump and howler throw on a real athletics track.

Everyone will receive a medal, and bragging rights will go to the winning team! The Seniors won last year so the Juniors have something to prove.

The run distances are:
– Sprint: 60m (Year 3 and below), 75m (Year 4-6), 100m (Year 8+ and Adults)
– Long Run: 400m (Year 3 and Below), 600m (Year 4-5), 800m (Year 6-8), 1500m (Year 9+ and Adults)

Senior members will be able to use their 1500m run for their standard times this year.

The event has been arranged to commemorate James Booth, Dad to Elizabeth and Katherine who are members and Young Leaders at the Junior Club and husband to Rebecca who is a member of the Senior Club. James even took part in one of Odette and Liz’s beginners’ groups. All entry fees for the event will go to The Brain Tumour Charity in his memory.

Special thanks go to Pingles Stadium who have donated the use of the venue for the event free of charge. We look forward to seeing you all there!

HRC Hollycroft park hills session, Tuesday — Well done everyone who ran tonight, that’s a tough session.

🏃‍♀️‍➡️ Captain’s Report – Bosworth XC

The weather played its part today for what we can definitely call a ‘proper’ cross-country race around Bosworth Battlefields. Mixed terrain with plenty of mud and of course the infamous ‘Bog’ which I for one was very glad for the rope to help you get out of!

With 29 runners on the day, Kate and her team clearing and setting up the course, along with all the marshals, race directors, course planners etc (the list goes on!) there are almost too many people to thank everyone individually, so a big thanks to all involved for making it a great morning. A very fitting ending to the XC season and a great showing of our club on the whole.

Team photo attached but as always there was a few warming up etc.

Leicester Mercury, 8th Feb.

Our annual celebration is a chance to honour the incredible achievements of our members and the supportive community we’ve built over the years,” said Charlotte Sinclair, chairwoman of Hinckley Running Club. “From beginners to seasoned athletes, every member has the opportunity to reach new goals, improve their fitness, and enjoy the mental health benefits of running. We’re proud to see so many people pushing themselves, earning recognition, and forming lasting friendships along the way.”

18 men, and 9 ladies braved the cold elements for the second Derby Runner XC, held at Martinshaw Woods. The course was a mixture of open fields, farmers fields, woodland paths, a small section of compact gravel, and a concrete path over the motorway.
The wintery weather made it challenging underfoot as the ground was pretty solid in places, and the uneven terrain made broken ankles a real threat!
Well done to the 27 runners, you all ran brilliantly!

Hope everyone enjoyed tonight’s session as much as I did! What a great bunch you all are!! Christmassy outfits and great running up a tough hill, all done with big smiles.

Well done everyone who ran tonight, great effort put in by all 💪 

Tonights session was:

Meet and retreat: Working in pairs of equal ability, set out in opposite directions and run the loop at 5k pace. When you get to your your partner, turn and run back. The aim is to arrive back to the starting point at the same time.

Rest for between 1 and 2 mins and go again.

Session length 30 minutes, changing direction half way through.

Well done on tonight’s session everyone, it was awesome to see you all working so hard!

Runners from HRC camped overnight at Belvoir Castle for the 24-hour Equinox24 challenge. Participants ran solo, in pairs, or as part of teams, aiming to complete as many laps as possible between 12 noon on Saturday and 12 noon on Sunday. This year, the weather added an extra layer of difficulty, but the team spirit remained strong throughout the event.

Perfect evening for a run up castle street 😆
Well done everyone.
And well done to our new club runners tonight, you smashed it

A mildy-chaotic-as-usual team photo from the Swithland 6 on Sunday. We’ve been treated to good weather for most of the LRRL league races so far! These local road races are inexpensive and open to all senior club members. Our thanks to Birstall Running Club for organising the race.
