Club running sessions will be restarting from Sunday 11th April 2021. Club sessions operate according to government and sports body guidelines. As before, please take responsibility for your own safe participation. See the club’s participant session rules at https://www.windmilers.org.uk/node/18127)

The recent (and local) abduction and murder of Sarah Everard has raised the issue of women’s safety. Whilst society as a whole needs to review how we treat women (a conversation for a long run with either of us, if you feel so inclined), as a multi-sport club our concern is primarily about the safety of our members when out exercising. There has been plenty of debate on social media channels about the responsibilities of men and women in fostering a safe environment, but to summarise - there are certainly some things we can all do in this regard.

Here’s an opportunity to enter a real race. If you are a club member you can apply for a guaranteed entry into the 2021 Brighton Marathon via the club Secretary. Entry costs £75. Ten club places are available on a first-come, first-served basis and your registration form must be completed and paid by 18th July 2021. If you are interested, please contact Anne Davies at secretary@windmilers.org.uk.

England Athletics advises that people should continue to train and exercise in groups of up to six adhering to social distancing. We recommend that members who run in their own informal groups apply the club's participant session rules. Although less restrictive guidelines now exist for some situations, these club rules are intended to protect the safety of participants and the general public, and to preserve a positive reputation for the running community and the Wimbledon Windmilers club.

Covid-19 symptoms

The Wimbledon Windmilers Committee has agreed to recommend that all Windmilers consider wearing an ‘In case of emergency’ (ICE) product during Windmilers running, cycling or swimming sessions, or carry emergency contact details with them. Coaches will encourage members to do so at their sessions.
