Tru Wealth Sponsorship

It’s with great pleasure that we can announce a new club athlete sponsor.  Mhairi Hendry and Philippa Millage have recently received individual sponsorship from Tru Wealth, part of The McKnight Financial Group – itself a main and longstanding sponsor of the club.  This sees the continued development of the Tru Wealth brand alongside Scottish Athletics.

Jonathan Robinson of Tru Wealth said “We are excited to support two incredible athletes who have fantastic prospects for 2019 and beyond.”  Many of you may have met with the Tru Wealth team at Grangemouth last summer and this year at various events at the Emirates Arena, and as part of their support of athletics the group have created an exclusive member offers page for the club.  These offers are available to all VP-Glasgow members who access Financial Planning from Tru Wealth. 

Tru Wealth and The McKnight Financial Group look forward to supporting VP-Glasgow for some time to come!

Christmas Road Race 2018

This is just a reminder that Victoria Park will be hosting our Christmas Handicap Race on Satrurday the 22nd of December.  If you would like to take part, you should meet on the Club Deck at Scotstoun Stadium prior to 12pm in good time for a 12.30pm start.

We're hoping for a large turnout on the day with competitors aged from 9 to Masters. It's a special event and it's not just for the endurance Athletes.

Competitors should arrive bearing a gift for the Lucky Dip. Value in the region of £8 - £9. e.g. Selection boxes/sweets/chocolates for the younger athletes and Bottle of Wine/Box of Biscuits, etc for the adults.

Competitors and their siblings can only collect a present from the lucky dip if they donate a gift on the day.

The event is a handicap race, with the slowest athletes and those not familiar with the distance starting first.

The distances for the event will be 2 miles for the juniors and the 3 and a quarter mile MacAndrew Course for the seniors.  Our Road Runners are welcome to take part in the competitive senior race or join in the fun with the juniors.

Parents will be most welcome and can either join the juniors on their run or assist with stewarding the course.

It's always a fun day with refreshments available on the Club Deck.

Hope to see you there.
