A Busy Weekend Racing


A Busy Weekend

The Club has had some great results this weekend and we had runners in Edinburgh, Exeter, Exmoor, Weymouth, Amsterdam and Palma and also a few Vet winners. Well done Club :) 

Amsterdam Marathon

Simon Raynor was in Amsterdam so decided to run the Marathon and  completed it in 3:03, great running Simon, I have heard the weather was a bit wet. Full Results can be seen here

Palma Half and Full Marathon

Some of the Club went to Palma for the Half and Full Marathon this weekend, after a gentle jog out on the Saturday to help get use to the heat it was time to get some liquid in for the main races on Sunday.  


Sunday came and the Sun was out and too hot but that didn't stop Mr 65 Vet from winning his age group yet again. Well done Pete and it also included a quick stop at Cramp corner.

Sadly the tight Company did not give out prizes for the Vets.

Fez and Louise ran the Half with Paul Allen, Peter Jakeman and myself running the Marathon. A great weekend with a 10k as well for anyone who would like to come out next year 16th Oct 2016. 



 



Exeter Half Marathon

Well done to Kat Hurford on the Exeter Half Marathon, getting the London Training in early.



Another Obstacle Race

Sean and Fiona travelled up to Edinburgh for another 13km Obstacle Race and might of had a few drinks as well.


Fiona Said:

After 13km obstacle course run up and down every hill in Edinburgh we start the return train journey. Great course, hard work up the hills but some great views. 



Cross Country

This Sunday (25th October) is the first of the Wessex league cross country series. It's held at canford heath, learoyd road Poole Dorset bh17 8pm.
All club members can race for free as the club encourages participation in the grass routes of our sport and pays for participation.

It would be good to field as many club members as possible. The ladies race starts at 11-45 and is approx 5k, the men's is 12-00 and approx 10k. All distances are down to the host clubs discretion.

Everyone who ran last year is already pre entered so just turn up get your number and enjoy. Anyone who didn't run any of last year's series see me on arrival and I'll get you sorted. Any questions then speak to me on Facebook or captains Lesley nesbitt / matt driver.
