BINGO FUN!!
With the majority of the country having to go into a tier 4 lockdown over Christmas, the committee and members at Mole Valley Runners looked at ways that they could continue to maintain fitness, have fun, support one another and continue to stay safe. One of the members came up with the fantastic idea of the January MVR Bingo challenge, which has been incredibly well taken up. People go out on their own, with a family member, a buddy, or with members of their support bubble and tick off some of the items on the bingo card. Over the first 4 days of January, already over 85 runs had taken place with everyone sharing their photos of their runs and their achievements on the club Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/ MoleValleyRunners At Mole Valley Runners there is no pressure to be a fast runner, the emphasis is on getting outside, doing something that is good for you and having some fun along the way!

As all of the normal club organised runs cannot take place at the moment, the club will continue to provide fun activities to keep people active during the lockdown and to provide a vital place of support, camaraderie and fun through these difficult times. Throughout the last lockdown, members of the club undertook runs around their garden, on their garden decking and even round their dinning room table. There was also a fun daily wheel of doom challenge. During these events, the club manged to raise over ÂŁ4,100 for the NHS Epsom and St Helier Hospitals charity. Debbie, run/trail coach, founder of MVR & owner of Mole Valley Fitness www.molevalleyfitness. co.uk also offers coaching and online classes to help maintain fitness, improve running and prevent injury.
