International Challenge Week The Club has for every year since 1990 been taking groups of both athletes and non-athletes to Club La Santa in November for the week of “The Challenge” Club La Santa is a world renowned sports resort catering for every sport you can imagine, and in the week that we go it is aimed particularly at runners. These runners (or indeed non-runners) enjoy the week enormously for the competition, the social life, the pre-Christmas sunshine and the fabulous atmosphere generated by the guests over the week. “The Challenge” was first run in 1989 so 2009 is the 21st running of the event, and some Club members have been to every one since. Our largest party has been 36 with some 17 of us completing “The Challenge” but in recent years it has been around 15 or so with about half of the party running the whole event of four races in four days. It is certainly not restricted to Club Members, for many years we have been joined by runners from Bearbrook Joggers, Milton Keynes AC, Ampthill and Flitwick Flyers and North Herts Runners, and indeed friends unconnected with running and basically anyone is welcome to join us for what we think is a great holiday. We travel to Lanzarote on a Thursday and the races start with a 10K on Sunday, the “Ridge Run” on Monday (14K), a beach race on Tuesday (5K) and a half marathon (21K) on the last day (Wednesday). If you do not wish to run and just enjoy a leisurely lifestyle that is rqually fine, or you can borrow bikes, swim in the Olympic size pool, play any number of racquet sports or hone your Pilates, Yoga or Spinning skills, the list is endless. There is a well equipped gymnasium, a new “Wellness Centre” as well as excellent restaurants and bars. All sporting facilities are free with no hidden costs unless you play golf or go diving. Prices have remained very stable now for a few years, with prices starting at about 380 per person for the week (including the flight from Luton and transfers) with three people sharing an apartment. This cost can be increased with rooms with views and having only two in an apartment. Food can be cooked in your rooms and bought from the on-site supermarket or as we mostly do, you can go to one of the many restaurants nearby and enjoy a meal at reasonable prices.
