Royston Runners Shine at Midweek League 2 Race in Watford

On Wednesday, 4th June 2025, Royston Runners delivered an impressive performance at the second fixture of the Midweek League Division 2, hosted by Watford Joggers at Cassiobury Park. This well-manned event saw a strong turnout from the club, with runners of all abilities representing Royston with determination and team spirit.

The Midweek League is a highly competitive series of 10k races held across Hertfordshire and surrounding areas, designed to foster club rivalry and camaraderie while offering a great racing experience midweek. Royston Runners, having been promoted to Division 2 this year, are embracing the challenge and showing they belong at this higher level.

At Cassiobury Park, the course’s scenic trails and supportive crowd provided the perfect backdrop for some standout performances. Royston’s runners pushed hard, contributing valuable points towards the club’s overall league standing. The mix of seasoned racers and enthusiastic newcomers highlighted the depth and inclusivity of the club.

Highlights included personal bests and strong finishes across both men’s and women’s teams, with the club’s collective effort praised by organisers and fellow competitors alike. The event was also a social occasion, with post-race refreshments and camaraderie reinforcing the club’s community spirit.

With two more league races to go, Royston Runners are well positioned to continue their strong showing in Division 2. The club encourages all members to get involved—whether racing or volunteering—to support the team and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere these events offer.

For those interested, upcoming fixtures include Royston’s own hosted race on 25th June, promising a home advantage and a chance for local supporters to cheer on the runners.
