At the end of March, Sherfield Park Runners enjoyed a weekend away to the New Forest. We headed to Sandy Balls Holiday Village in Fordingbridge for a weekend of running and socialising. 

On Friday night, we enjoyed a group meal at the local pub with some great local food and a few drinks together. As runners, life is about balance, so it was great to meet up as a group to get to know each other aside from our passion for running. The next day we explored the New Forest with a trail run and pony spotting, whilst others enjoyed hikes to Hindhead, discovering local cafes and making the most of the hot tubs in our lodges. We regrouped for dinner again that evening ahead of race day on Sunday, when we took part in the Tri Counties Up On The Down races of varying distances from 5k to a half marathon. The route was hilly and muddy, but it offered incredible views across the New Forest and was enjoyed by all abilities of runner. Two of our club members even won trophies! At Sherfield Park Runners, we celebrate everyone's achievements equally, whether its your first race or your personal best, because as out motto pledges, no one runs alone.
