🏅 MEDAL MONDAY 🏅

Another bumper race weekend has been and gone with all distances covered. 5k, 10k, halfs, ultras, whatever the distance, you all got out and smashed it. And some lovely medals were handed out.

It was a Superhalf weekend this week as Copenhagen took centre stage for its leg in the series. And closer to home we had a brand new half take place with the inaugural running of the Saucony Run Shoreditch Half Marathon.

And we don't just run! Lots of Fordys headed for a swim this weekend and took on Swim Serpentine!

Wherever you ran this week (or swam!), show us the medal you took home in the comments!

Another fantastic weekend of running is in the books, and as always, the Fordy Runs Running Club community has been out in force! 🙌🧡

Closer to home, there was plenty of racing action too, with our runners taking on events in Grays, Takeley and Banbury 🏃‍♂️💨 There was even a run around a theme park!

And of course, that wasn't all! Wherever our members were racing this weekend, there were medals earned, finish lines crossed, PBs chased and plenty of memories made. 🥳🏅
