What a great turnout to the 2019 Dog Leg! We hope you enjoyed the new course- faster, flatter and above all safer.

If, like many people, you are concerned about the plastic which is polluting our environment, and you want to take steps to reduce your impact on our planet, then you will understand the discussions we at Maltby Running Club have had recently to try to do our bit to avoid waste.
You will notice that we are phasing out plastic bottles and cups for our water stations. We have decided to use paper cups but these are about three times the price of plastic! We are using paper plates at our race buffets too. We have also decided to give all Bawtry Forest Trail Race entrants a lovely gift at this year’s race – a beautiful, bespoke printed cotton bag which initially will contain what is probably the UK’s top goody bag; afterwards the bag can be reused and will hopefully be a reminder of a brilliant event. You can’t have one unless you enter the race though, so hurry up and sign up using the link from this page to make sure you get your hands on one.
Other things you can do to reduce waste; perhaps recycle your safety pins? We use around 5000 pins every year and they must end up somewhere – at the bottom of your kit bag? in the washing machine? in the car ashtray? It helps everyone if you can reuse them – as far as we are concerned this means we can donate more money to charity and it offsets the greater cost of using cardboard products over plastic.
You are also very welcome to bring your own drinks bottle for your post race drink, and even your reusable mug for tea or coffee afterwards. An extra benefit is that you will look like an elite runner if you have your own drinks bottle!
See you at the next MRC race (only 3 days away!).

We hope you enjoyed tonight’s Abbey Dash. A sunny evening, lots of friends old and new, and a great buffet. We are working hard to format and check the results and will post them as soon as we can. Please check back later.
And if you thought that was a good event, wait till you try the Bawtry Forest Trail Race. We have a great selection of prizes again this year, including a fabulous Suunto sports watch for the winners of the men’s and ladies’ races respectively.
Here’s a photo of a kind volunteer posing with the watches (we are not having a caption competition). To enter Bawtry Forest Trail Race, please follow the link on the top right of this page.

We also have an amazing goody bag lined up as well as our famous t shirts for everyone who completes the trail race. Don’t forget to enter early to be sure of getting a place – entries are limited to 300 runners.

A great turnout by MRC runners at a trail run organised by Danum Harriers – they must like us as this is the second time they have invited us! The run was fun and the beer and chip butties were lovely! Danum runners are invited to Maltby on Tuesday 14th May – all MRC members are welcome – meet at Maltby Catholic Club ready to run at 6.30pm.
