We're excited to have had six OARC athletes invited to this new event at Grangemouth this weekend. It's for the fastest performers in the 100m in Scotland last year, and will hopefully be a fantastic experience for those traveling to compete. Thank you to Nigel for accompanying the team, we're looking forward to hearing how it goes.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.The nights are getting longer and Craig's Wednesday group is growing! Fantastic to see these numbers in our adult group, preparing for the road race season ahead. 6-7pm every Wednesday, open to members and non-members (but much cheaper for members!). Come along and give it a go!
OARC held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday night at Picky, which was well attended by members, coaches and volunteers. A brief summary of the decisions taken is below, although fuller minutes will be available in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions or thoughts on any of the decisions taken, please let us know.
Our AGM is TOMORROW NIGHT - 7pm on Monday night in the St. Magnus Suite at Picky. There is also a video call link for those interested who cannot make the meeting.

Today was graduation day for Ola Thompson, Sophie Black, Amy Walker, Yvonne Rendall, and Amy Sutcliffe from the OARC Couch to 5k group.
They have done incredibly well over the past 9 weeks of training. Going from running 1 minute at a time to completing a whole parkrun. Just fantastic and heart warming to see!
Hopefully another group of graduates at next weeks parkrun! Well done everyone and thank you to Carrie and Sarah for organising and delivering another successful Couch to 5k group!
Congratulations and nice to see an Isle of Wight hoodie on show.

An email went out last night about a club trip to the 2026 North District Championships on 16/17 May in Aberdeen. Last year we took a huge team and it would be great to repeat it: it's a great first trip for some of the younger ones as it includes an U12 SuperTEAMS competition on the Sunday morning as well as U14, 16 events and guest slots for U18, U20 and Senior athletes. Please do check your emails for details and message us if you haven't received anything or have any questions.
