October Training Sessions Schedule Run Swim Ride and Team Events

The month starts strongly on Thursday 1 October, with a 40-minute enduro run before our club swim session at Brigg. From there, the schedule keeps a good rhythm: regular swim nights, running hill reps at Howsham, and another team parkrun midway through the month, and the start of the winter Animal Series towards the end of the month. Yes it's back again!!

As always, please keep an eye on club messages on our OTCF watts app for final details, especially for the ride date, the parkrun location, and any session tweaks due to weather, numbers, or venue changes.
