The predicted heavy rain stayed away which was a blessing but there was a strong head wind on the way back to the finish. Our 5 members running all had great results as follows:- Leanne Finch had a storming run to finish first lady in a platinum club record time of 29.01. Leanne says she has to sort her pacing…
Gothenburg Half Marathon – May 2024
We had one member racing abroad this week! Fran jogged round the Gothenburg half marathon ! She walked a mile of it so she finished it in 2 hours 3 mins! It was about 26 degrees too and she did her usual thing of being sick after – lovely!! Well done Fran.
Dereham 10 miler – May 2024
Well what a hot one it turned out to be and no one was really prepared for it. When you think that two weeks ago we were in the pouring rain watching the Norfolk Marathon, the conditions today were miles apart. There were a lot of casualties on the course and at the finish. The first aiders had their work…

After being second on a few occasions this was his first win so that was an extra bonus. Leanne Finch, after her weeks holiday in York, decided…
Norfolk Marathon – April 2024
The weather conditions couldn’t have been much worse and I’m not sure who suffered more the runners or the spectators. The heavens opened and it came down in bucket loads. So a really big well done to Tom Jordan and Steph Laurance for completing the race and with smiles on their faces…most of the time! Tom, who had run the…
Mid Cheshire 5k – April 2024
Lee Quibell after a 5 year wait and, at times, due to injury, nearly packing up running completely ran a gold standard pb time of 18.24 for this 5k race. Well done Lee. Very well deserved after your hard work and determination.
Great Yarmouth 5 Mile series race 1 – April 2024
On a beautiful warm and summer evening – sorry, that was just wishful thinking – it was cold, windy and ended in a heavy downpour! Nevertheless: Michael Eccles was on a mission tonight to put Billy back in his box and did it in style by finishing 3rd overall in a platinum, club record pb time of 25.36. Billy Eccles…
