Round Norfolk Relay 2023
Absolutely outstanding runs by all. We were just over an hour adrift of the overall winners and only 27 seconds off 2nd place which, over 198 miles is nothing, and for such a small club is excellent. We ran our fastest ever time this year so next year who knows what we can achieve. The weather conditions on the Saturday…
Great North Run 2023
It was such a long way for Michael Eccles to travel and not get the results he wanted. He finished in 1:16:01 which is quite pedestrian for him, although it was a platinum age club record. Michael’s message after the race:- “I hated every second of that, the first mile is downhill but I went up a hill at 3…
Montane Dragon’s Back Race
The Montane Dragon’s Back Race route is inspired by that of the 1992 race, in which the inaugural Dragons tackled Wales’ uniquely wild, trackless, and remote mountainous terrain.

Michael Eccles was second overall and first V40 in 24.58…

Lee Quibell ran a gold standard 19.08 Eleanor Chapman, the most excited I’ve ever seen anyone after achieving a pb, ran a silver standard 21.54. Her target this…
