Invitation to all Windrushers - monthly 'mob match' vs Crystal Palace Triathlon Club and Greenwich Tritons
Crystal Palace Triathlon Club and Greenwich Tritons each mistakenly think that they're the biggest and best triathlon club in South London.
They're wrong, and now we've got a chance to prove what we all already know - Windrushers are the friendliest, most enthusiastic, and frankly, best looking triathletes around.
The challenge? An ongoing monthly Park Run 'mob match'.
It's not about the fastest, or the slowest - it's about numbers. Whichever club brings the most runners on the day wins.
Each 'mob match' will take place at either Brockwell, Greenwich or Crystal Palace Park Run, on the first Saturday of each month.
Every Park Run is 5km - they're a really friendly and easy way of getting a regular timed event into your training. All abilities take part, it's just about getting out on a Saturday morning and getting stuck in.
The first match is on Saturday 4th February at Crystal Palace. We're in this to win, so we need as many Windrushers as possible to sign up and come and run (or walk!) the course.
"This sounds AMAZING, where do I sign up?"
1. If you haven't already, register with Park Run and get your barcode. You'll need one of these to race.
2. When you register, make sure you select Windrush Triathlon Club as your club.
3. Be at the start line at 9am on Saturday 4th Feb. The start is below the sports centre, opposite the children's playgruond (map here).
4. Run!
If you need more information about getting there or registering, visit the Crystal Palace Park Run page here.
For those who are cycling, there are bike racks at the national sports centre.
Now let's go win this thing!

I think you can run in any Parkrun and it counts to your T-shirt... I'm pretty sure I read that on the site. G'wan come to Crystal Palace :)

I think the rough idea is to have the Brockwell one on the first Sat in April.
Would be good to see you again - mind you Brockwell Parkrun has been getting grief for swamping the park with people errr exercising. So we re trying to get an alternative off the ground in Dulwich Park in Southwark.

Great effort for 17 windrushers to turn up in zero degrees temp - those that took over 40 minutes must have been seriously cold by the end.
I'll try to be there for the rematch, maybe with some speedy ringers :) Shame lambeth are looking to bin the event - think they are one of the few councils to also charge personal trainers for using the park.
Fired out a PB at the reading Parkrun this morning (I love frosty ground!)

So checking the results Crystal Palace had 19 runners, we had 17 and Greenwich Tritons 3.
They were marginally quicker - we were better looking.
All to play for in March and April!
Ps as Mark Thomas is a member of both clubs there is an argument it came down to one runner naming no names Frank Fonton ;-)

Wooo GO WINDRUSH! I told you it was close Lee! If only Ben had run with his daughter in her windrush kit! ....Ahh the bragging rights if we had beaten them! What a fantastic turn out this morning from the club and on such a cold day too. Bring on Brockwell is all I can say! Apparently Mark will run as Windrush when its our turn..I also feel we can provide cake..
looking forward to the pics Teresa!
