Race Results and Medal Mondays – Let us know what races you’re doing!
We are a club proud of having the fastest competitor, the slowest participant, and any position in between in any race. With the spring marathon season hotting up and Serpies running lots of marathons, half marathons, 5-10ks or 20 mile races, we’d love to hear what races you’re doing, and better if you have a smiley medal photo to share at the end! Further on in spring and summer we will also have triathletes telling us about their swim-bike-run adventures as well. Here is how we try to capture as many races out there as possible!
Let us know your race events and results!
You’d appreciate that with the number of races there are, we rely on your help to get the race results to our website. Here is how it works:
- If you have any upcoming races (whether running or triathlon, and anywhere in the world), please check if they are currently on our wesbite’s event calendar (see above).
- Please email our Events team if your race is not yet there. We’d prefer the races entered on the event calendar before the event. Please give a bit more detail about the race, e.g. date, starting time, distance, start location, event website. This also helps other members get to know upcoming events, and know someone in the club doing a particular race.
- Our diligent Results team will try to find results, primarily through the events’ websites. If you are listed as a Serpentine runner in the event, it’s quite likely we can find you. If not, please email the Results team your finishing time.
Get into our Medal Monday!
If you have followed our Instagram channel (@serpiesrc) or our external Facebook page (@serpies) you wouldn’t fail to notice that we now have a Medal Monday post every week to celebrate our members’ performances – whether it’s a 2:30 marathon or half-marathon, it’s worth celebrating. Get into our next Medal Monday post by sending your photos!
Medal Monday last week - Well done to Hakim and many other Serpies who ran the Seville Marathon in Spain!
Here are some simple steps/tips:
- Cross the finish line (that’s your hardest part done!) and grab a medal.
- Take a picture of yourself (happy to have your friends and families, whether they are Serpies or not) with the medal. Preferably in portrait.
- Try to find a nice background (e.g. For those running the Paris Marathon we look forward to seeing you in front of the Arc de Triomphe! Otherwise the finish sign is always a good shout).
- Remember your Serpie vest / T-shirt!
- Action shots are great too if someone takes one for you during your race.
The best way to send us your photos is to join our WhatsApp group called “Serpies’ Races and Results”. If you haven’t joined this group yet, please join through our WhatsApp community:
Otherwise, please email your pictures to me (not to Results or Events – as they don’t handle our social media feeds) by Sunday evening (after that we may not be able to include you). Finally, you can also catch our attention by tagging us (@serpiesrc) when you post on Instagram, although that would require some work by us and you’ll need to make sure you have a clean background without any words written on your posts or stories.
Any questions regarding the above, please feel free to email me.
Happy racing,
Marketing & Comms
