Writtle Inaugural Club Run!

Saturday 29th of January 2022 beginners run and club run.

I feel the session shouldn't go without mention on our website as even though it wasn't an actual ‘’event’’ it was a very big deal for the club. This was our first run at our new home ground Writtle...

Neil and Toby at Thetford Trials

It’s Sunday, 25th October and the morning sun is shining on the start line of the Inspire Races Get Running 10K at Thetford Forest.  My sprocker Toby and I are signed up for the canicross wave and will be among the first runners taking part.  I’m having a last...

Tri-Dog Event 26-27 September 2020

It was an early start, leaving at 6 am to arrive for 8 am ahead of registration. Once I arrived, Kali and Asha, my Siberian husky twin sisters wanted a walk, so we took a little walk around the campsite to check things out. It was their 5th birthday the day before...

Tridog 2020 with Natalie and Skye

#TeamBaloo does parkrun

What? parkrun! It may come as a shock to some of you but I have never done a parkrun! I don’t live near one that I can walk to and always thought driving to run 5k was pointless when I could just run from my front door along country lanes and footpaths. I saw the...

My First Checkendon Challenge – Tony & Fred

Checkendon Challenge Advertised as “The best trail in the UK and loved by all”, this was an event that interested me. I had seen a few videos from this event, and it looks stunning (And scary if you have never done bikejor). I was in 2 minds about entering, as it’s...

The road to my first pup powered parkrun

I have tried to like running several times over the last 7 years, and failed.  I have done couch to 5k several times, but always stopped after, through injury or hating it still and never finding the magic that I see 'every' other runner found. "It clears your...
