Greetings Harriers,
The other clubs in Kent certainly felt the force of TWH yesterday when we were awarded the 2024 Kent Grand Prix Women’s trophy as well as being Men’s runners up plus several individual awards.
A windy start to the week might deter the weak and feeble but the likes of Ashely, Bert, Conall, Darragh and Eowyn will not blow us off course.
We may not have set the world alight in the Canterbury race last Sunday but its all part of the build up to our very own TW Half Marathon next month when our very own storm troopers strut their stuff.
This week’s run is a repeat of one that former member, Tom “The Boxer” Barry set for us a while back.
So, with Tom as this week’s Routemaster 
, fasten your seat belts and let’s go ……plenty of gentle undulations around central Tunbridge Wells until you get your first tasting of the year of Sausage Factory Hill (our very own James O’Dwyer was once the Local Legend) followed by a chance of redemption at St Marks before a return to the Nevill.

Whether you are returning from skiing, recovering from Sunday’s Canterbury 10 Mile , preparing for XC, a Sunday marathon training run or just want to run with your friends, there is something for you.
The long route is 7.2 miles with a medium route of 6.3 miles and a short route 5.4 miles – there is a Goldilocks route for you.
This week’s route is mostly well lit but please try and stay in groups as much as possible, looking out especially for guests, newer members and wear something bright with a head torch an optional accessory.
Map and GPX attached.
Our tail runners this week are Lucille (short) and the M60 Veteran duo of Mike Sharp and Pete Tullett (long).
If you want to take it easier before a race or just want to join the fun at the back please step forward ….
There is also a walking group that sets off at the same time. So if you’re injured, tired or full of wind, come along and walk with friends.
Current forecast for Wednesday is for a damp and cool 6C.
Tea Total Trevor and Rocky host us in the bar afterwards selling the finest beer, AF lager and ale, wine and soft drinks in the vicinity, at special prices, so why not relax and have a drink with friends before you head home.
Drink of the week (sadly not stocked by Trevor) ……
7:30 prompt start from the Nevill – change rooms, showers and bar all open – it’s time to commit !
