Redway Runners are now a group on the RunGo app, download the App and search in groups for Redway Runners and join it, Run Go provides routes with voice navigation (imagine a sat nav for running) you may be familiar with it if you have been doing the Big Cow 6 pack marathon

We already have a number of routes included with all eight Milton Keynes Boundary run routes, the Hanslope Circular run (more on that soon), plus some nice routes local to Milton Keynes area.

Have you ever fancied running the 5am run with Jen (if 5am does not put you off then 9 miles at 8 minute mile pace on a gentle day including Brickhill hill might) well the route if included for you to have a go at your own time and own pace

We will be adding routes that add value as we develop this opportunity, you can find us at:

About RunGo:
RunGo is the #1 running app for discovering the best routes in the world with turn-by-turn voice navigation. Build your own route, or select one of the 400,000 routes or verified routes worldwide, and follow a voice-guided tour, including every time there’s a turn or a cool landmark, or an encouraging reminder that you’re halfway there.
RunGo also tracks your run stats like time, pace, distance, elevation, and estimated finish time.
We proudly include no ads in the app, and a paid premium upgrade is available for additional features.

In our last update, we let you know that we had received updated England Athletics guidance and we were waiting further clarification, we are pleased to confirm that we have now received this and following a successful test over the weekend on the new guidance we are increasing the numbers that can attend club runs up to 12 runners as a first step, this will increase for the booked runs from the 1 August 2020. We could go further but feel at this stage this is a wise first step.

In order to make this change we have updated the club COVID risk assessment and to confirm Michelle GB is the clubs COVID officer, runners are still required to social distance and stick to the runners COVID guidelines that are below and runs will be in COVID secure environments
We will be continuing with the current process for booking runs, via events on your Redway Runners Love Admin account (with the exception of Move Up to Marathon group and the Under 18s)

Please ensure that your contact details are up to date on your Redway Runners Love Admin account in case it needs to be used for Test and Trace

We told you previously, through our membership system (LoveAdmin), we have been using GoCardless to collect payments from you. GoCardless are increasing their fees so to keep costs low, LoveAdmin have integrated a new payment provider – London & Zurich.

What does this mean for me?
In short, very little. Your direct debits will automatically move from GoCardless to London & Zurich without you needing to take action.

You may receive notification from your bank and you will receive two emails from London & Zurich.
When we collect payments in the future, you will see London & Zurich on your bank statement.

Additionally, until the 30 June 2020, the Activation date we cannot collect payments via Love Admin so if you need to make a payment in the instances below, but we have a short term solution

Renewals
If you have not renewed then you can make the payment direct to the club bank account (either £5 or £21.45, if you have EA), then mail us so we can update your record as paid, you can still sign in to your Redway Runners Love Admin account and update your information

New Membership

Normally Redway Runners would have held the clubs AGM during May, but with the unusual circumstances the world is experiencing we decided to leave it to see how the situation developed and it seems clear that we will not be able to hold a Face to Face meeting inside with the numbers in the near future.

Therefore, for this year we are going to conduct the club AGM via a Zoom meeting on Monday 29 June 2020 from 18:30 to 20.00.

This meeting is for paid Redway Runners members, at the meeting we will review the clubs activity and accounts for the year 2019 / 2020 up the 31 March 2020
