Back to Racing


The Ox Half and Full Marathon


Sunday saw a few more turn up (see below) for the Full Marathon and Half , the Full started at 9:30 and the Half started at 10:30. There was also an Ultra that started at 8:30. 

The Team

Paul dropped 1p so we had to find it first. 

The nice thing about White Star Running is that the 10k is 11k, the Half is over 14 and the Marathon is over 27 miles. It was a tough course with a nice hill to finish with but the Cider at mile 24 was well worth it. All finishers for all races got a Tech T-Shirt and some very nice Bling but not sure about the Pink ribbon. Well done to all runners half and full as it was a hilly course and hot at times but at least the rain held off.




Thanks to Helen for the Cake, please can you now enter all the Marathons that I have entered this year so I can have some more. Hope you managed to stand up after the picnic.


No results are in yet.


The Dark Ox 10k (Sat)


Saturday night some Green and Whites head for Wiltshire ahead of the main event on Sunday to run the Dark Ox, a 10k in the late evening with head torches.




 


Wells 10k


More points so Green and Whites headed all the way to Wells for the 10k, sadly Wells have not added any Club names in the Results that can be found here.

Well done all Runners

3. This in from Kas Handley:

Thank you to the new YTRRC friends we met at the Egdon Easy 10km this evening. Tom Handley and I are fairly new members and it was great to run with you all. Your massive support and all that cheering at the finish line helped get me a new 10km PB! You were brilliant!

Just goes to show we are the best running Club out there. :) 


4. Sherborne Boat Race is on tomorrow (Mon), please collect your ticket from Louise Ward at 9:30am at the main entrance, the first Race is at 10:30. We will be in Club Vests but will also have to wear a Life Jacket. Bring spare clothing to change into and let win this. The Club Gazebo will be up to change and also as a bag drop, hopefully some family members can look after the bags. Thanks to Fez and Louise for organising this (so it's there fault in you drown).
