Greetings Harriers,
This week we manage the sweet spot between TW HM glory and the next KGP event, Dartford Half Marathon, this Sunday.
No much happy news to comment on, so I’ll move on.
This week we are inspired by …
Austin Metro
Austin Powers
Six Million Dollar Man (aka Steve Austin)
Yes, you guessed it, this week we have a route from our very own Steve Austin, that he set for us a while back, when he was king of the road not king of the dance floor on the rave scene. He also now owns the M65 category, seemingly setting club records at will.
So, with Steve as this week’s Routemaster 
, fasten your seat belts and let’s go ……as we head NW to the other side of the Pembury Bypass and then back through the industrial estate before a return to the Nevill. A club favourite.

A club favourite.Whether you are returning from skiing, preparing for Dartford, marathon training or just want to run with your friends, there is something for you.
The long route is 8 miles with a medium route of 6.6 miles and a short route 4.6 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 (especially for Blackhurst Lane).
Current forecast for Wednesday is for a damp 7C.
Map attached.
There is also a walking group that sets off at the same time. So if you’re injured, tired or just want to join the Soul Train, come along and walk with friends.
Our tail runners this week are Ian Grant (short) and Elliot Hughes (long).
If you want to take it easier before a race or just want to join the fun at the back please step forward ….
Teetotal 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.
Trevor will no doubt be brushing up on how to make Million Dollar Cocktails, as you will need at least 6 of them if you want to challenge Steve’s running achievements.

7:30 prompt start from the Nevill – change rooms, showers and bar all open – it’s time to commit !
