Mad March Hare 2020
Not the best of conditions out on the airfield today. At some points the runners were getting stopped dead in their tracks by the strong winds. I think the wind added at least 2 or 3 minutes to their times. Scott Walford was 1st overall in 34.50 and well over a minute ahead of the second runner. It didn’t make up for his…
Cambridge Half Marathon 2020

Inter-Counties Cross Country 2020 Loughborough

Winchester 10k & Tarpley 20 miles
Both races were run under hard conditions with heavy rain and strong winds. Winchester 10k This is one race that Michael Eccles will want to forget about. Not only were the first 100 runners sent the wrong way but the ‘k’ markers were also in the wrong place. Michael went through 5k in 16.30 feeling comfortable and on for the…
Valentine 10k 2020

Individual awards. Autumn Hales was 3rd lady overall in an excellent pb time of…
