The Hot Chocolate Run Series in the UK is joining forces with the Drummond Clinic, the Berkshire-based physical therapy and rehabilitation centre.
This is seen as a good opportunity for those runners taking part in the new chocolate themed run series. The Drummond Clinic methods are two-fold: to ‘educate’ their clients on how their bodies should move, and then ‘re-educate’ the body to hold itself and move correctly.
The Drummond Clinic physio and physical therapy team fix problems through education, with the aim of reducing the chance of recurring issues. They will be on-hand at the Hot Chocolate Run Series to assist and advise all Hot Chocolate runners at every event this year.
Alex Drummond, Senior Physiotherapist and Owner of the Drummond Clinic said, “We will provide huge benefits to all participants at the events. As well as pre & post run massage, we are providing an injury prevention and rehabilitation triage centre – so every participant has access to our world-class physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and massage therapists.”
Martyn Edwards, Event Director of the Hot Chocolate Run Series is just as excited about the new partnership. He said, “The goal of the Hot Chocolate Series is simple: it is not just about the running. Entrants will love our welcoming and supportive environment. Alex and hisr team will really help us fulfill that, offering the ‘full package’ for everyone taking part.”
The new run series launched in the UK last month, offering running events ‘with a difference’. Set at the 2012 Olympic rowing venue of Dorney Lake in Windsor, the friendly events invite all ages and abilities to take part in a running event on a flat course. Runners can choose from a 5K right up to a half marathon.
And the best bit? After crossing the finish line, athletes are rewarded with a delicious cup of hot chocolate, with toppings ranging from marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles to whipped cream and chopped nuts!
The next Hot Chocolate Run Series events will be held on the following dates:
- Race 2: Saturday 21 February 2015
- Hot Chocolate Half Marathon: Saturday 21 March 2015
- Race 3: Sunday 22 March 2015
