EditSummer handicap run
The
Summer Handicap Route is a 4 mile loop which includes Pyle Hill. The 'Handicap' principle means that the start is staggered with slower runners starting first and quicker later, which means that hopefully everyone finishes together and in doing so achieves a wonderful finishing atmosphere for all. There are usually informal post race teas and coffees in the DLL Woking club bar afterwards.
EditEven split run
The
Even Split Route entails running 2 laps of a fixed distance course run WITHOUT watches! The 'winner' is the runner with closest difference between the two laps. Amazingly this has been won on several occasions with a 1 second time difference which is truly even pacing! There are usually informal post race teas and coffees in the DLL Woking club bar afterwards.
EditPredictor run
This is run round the
Summer Handicap Route 4 mile Pyle Hill loop or another
with the objective of getting as close to your pre-race predictions as possible, again run WITHOUT watches!! There are usually informal post race teas and coffees in the DLL Woking club bar afterwards. EditPairs run
This
Pairs Run Route is a circular route run with each member of the pair running in opposite directions until they meet, exchange ribbons, turn back the way they came and return to the start. Generally pair consists of a faster and slower runner meaning that the faster runner goes further, as they should! There are usually informal post race teas and coffees in the DLL Woking club bar afterwards.
EditWinter warmer run
The Winter warmers are similar to Summer handicap runs. The course uses the well lit
Jackmans Route which is run on pavement all the way and is c2.8 Miles. The start /finish line is opposite the DLL Woking club entrance. There is also a gentle warm up before the start of about 1.2 miles (Loop Road). There are usually informal post race drinks in the DLL Woking club bar afterwards.

EditCruisers Weekend Breaks
These infrequently orgainised long weekends have, in the past, been in places such as the New Forest. These have been really enjoyed by all those that have gone and encompass the clubs philosophy of fun running and socialising. There is a possibility of an event in 2010 but this has not been confirmed.
