Sunset Trail Marathon What a great job by our ladies Katherine Mortlock and Leanne Botwright in the sunset trail marathon. They kept each other company all the way finishing 2nd and 3rd ladies overall in 5.06.39 and 5.06.40. I hope that beer tent was waiting for you at the end for that well deserved pint or two. Well done girls

Norfolk Schools Track and Field Champs & GY Open Track Meeting
Billy Eccles competed in the 1500m but was running underage at the bottom of his age group which is a tough ask. As is the norm with Billy he went off pretty quick, had a bit of a lapse in the middle then finished with an epic final lap to run 5.16. The previous week at Great Yarmouth, Billy and…
Mike Groves 10k June 2021
Well done to the 5 runners who completed the MG 10k and in what were very hot and humid conditions. This course is well known for some strong winds but it was the total opposite today and with no shade either a slight wind would have been really welcome.

Blickling & Boston Half Marathon May 2021
BLICKLING HALF Well that was a warm one and the hill/friend at the end turned out to be a bit unfriendly. Simon Partridge who set off 5 minutes after the first runners overtook all but one which gave him first overall place in 1.17.12. (diamond standard). This was Simon’s last race as a senior man. Arron Coe running with an…

Scott was also first…
UEA Open Track Meeting May 14th. Smile mile final. Wildcard Mile & 3000m
Smile mile The final of the Smile mile race was really exciting to watch and must have been so tough for the athletes competing. Having to put a few sprints in the middle of the race just to stay in the race must have had their legs screaming. A big well done to Callum Bowen-jones who was 3rd in a…

Snetterton 5k April 2021
We knew it would be windy at the Snetterton race track. We could blame Matt Stone. Wherever he races it always seems to be blustery. The lads were a bit dubious about racing for the first time in over a year and were certainly glad to get this one out of the way. Simon Partridge 16.54 8th overall and 5th in his category…
