Roadrunner - the journal of the RRC

Roadrunner is the journal of the RRC and is published 3 times a year with a wide range of  content on all sorts of aspects of running. Some recent articles from Roadrunner, updated to edition 195, Summer 2011, can be read here.

The John Jewell Film Archive - some clips now available

The late John Lewell, an ex-President of the RRC, has given a very generous bequest to the RRC, and one of the major things it has being used for is the digitisation of his large collection of films, which is currently kept at the athletics archive in Birmingham University. There are 53 8mm reels, with a wealth of records of road and track running, from the 1950 Commonwealth Games right into the 1990s. The digitising process has now been completed, and a selection of the films are being made viewable on this website.

We are now working our way through editing clips of London to Brighton Races, and have posted 1952 (the very first race) through 1955. The rest will be put on the website in batches as they are completed, and we hope to be able to add commentaries in due course.

Select the films you wish to see from the film archive menu link above.

The RRC Championships

The entries so far for the Championships for this year (2011) are published in the latest edition of Roadrunner, and also on this page, updated to 5th January 2012. You can send in entries to John Trory up until January 31st 2012, but only for races held in 2011.

The RRC Constitution

The affairs of the Club are controlled by its constitution, which can be downloaded in PDF format by clicking here.

Members' area

This site has an area for members only, which will gradually be filled with information for and about our members.

You get to it, unsuprisingly, by clicking the top menu button "Members' Area" and will then find a page requesting username and password.

Your username is your RRC membership number and we had hoped that your password would be your postcode. At the moment it is your postcode all in lower case and without a space and it isn't working for everybody. WebIT4U, who have built our website, are working on correcting this.
