The Abbots Langley Tough Ten Committee is in need of more support.
The committee meets once a month and last month enjoyed their first non-Zoom meeting since March 2020. Once September arrives, ahead of the annual Tough Ten race in October, the meetings take place every week.
They are keen to recruit a minutes secretary, as well as a schools liaison person to promote the race to schools and encourage them to enter runners and raise sponsorship.
They would also like somebody to deal with the banners promoting the race, including putting them up before the race and taking them down afterwards. Marshals on the day are also always needed.
A committee member said: “There are currently five of us. To put it bluntly, we need more help. The race virtually runs itself, from opening the entries, to ordering race numbers, trophies and medals and timing the runners. That’s the easy part. It is the promotion and community involvement that keeps the Tough Ten one of the most important annual events in the village. It is still a village event. We want to keep it that way but without help, we may lose it for good.”
If you would like to join the committee, or to offer assistance in any way, however small, please email toughtenevents@gmail.com
