Monday Pub Run
6 July - Green Man, Little Braxted CM8 3LB

           
Witham Running Club was formed in 1983 to support those who want to train, race and run for fun, on and off road. We are based at Bramston Sports Centre in Witham and we now have over 180 members. We have a thriving juniors section and our ratio of ladies to men is about 45:55.

More information is in the "About Us" section in the menu on the left.

Summer Championship Update
Race Results MediumT writes "We are almost half way through the Summer Championship for 2009, with 9 out of the 20 races now completed. 

We have had a brilliant turn out with 30 ladies and over 40 men so far posting results.  The 5k's have proved especially popular but that may be more to do with the post race curry/chilli than anything else!

Through the early races, the lead has been swapping regulary between Gary Levey and Peter Gold in the men's table and Sue Mold and Lorraine Gold in the women's.  A late surge from Chairman Martyn has seen him take the lead with Peter holding on to second.  Stuart Waller's string of pb's has taken him up to 3rd, with Gary and Phil Martin snapping at his heels in 4th and 5th.

Lorraine is holding on to 1st place on the women's leader board with Sue not far behind in 2nd.  Wendy Martin is putting her triathlon training to good use and has earned enough points to be in 3rd place and challenging for the top spots.  Liz Stuckey and Rachel O'Connor round out the top 5.

It's not all over yet, though, as many of the runners lower down the table have yet to post times at all distances.  With only your best points for each distance counting towards your total, we can expect the pack to be shuffled several more times before the final race at Stebbing on November 8th!"

New to Running and Summer Championships
News frank writes "The "New To Running" rota and the Summer Championship Table have been updated.

I am experimenting with Google documents. I think it will improve the way members can publish this kind of information.

Please let me know if you experience any problems. (Use the "webmaster" link in "Contact Us")

Thanks

WHAT YOU MISSED AT THE CLUB - 29 JUNE
Training martynb writes "Stewart Waller became the first WRC member to be awarded a Club Standards boxed engraved medal having completed all distances. He received a Bronze Standard in the MV60 division.

We welcomed Demelsa, Debbie and Paula for the first time.

Some great results from Horndon on the Hill yesterday where Kev Harper ran his quickest 10k for 2 years finishing 9th in an excellent 37.49. Ross finished 3rd V60 in 50.09 with Sue Mold clocking 52.14, Sarah Goodwin 57.44 and Brian (aka Gary!) 73.00.

A  humid night with some  breeze along the Flitch made the run more comfortable than expected for our 65 members.

Off to the Green Man at Little Braxted next week.

5K SUMMER CHAMPIONSHIP - RACE 2 ***UPDATED***
Training martynb writes "A record evening with 43 completing the out and back undulating course to Fairstead Church and returning to the Square and Compasses.

Conditions were ideal especially for sitting outside after for Curry and drinks!

The men had the strongest field for some time with Jon setting a course record hotly pursued by new sub 3 hour Marathon man Alan. Frank returning to form set a V50CR whilst Phil was the only man to clock a PB. James being the only man to run quicker than in Race 1. Chris's race came to an end whilst catching Alan having to stop to be 'ill' having swallowed a swarm of flies!

Having come second last time Wendy went one better and in doing so clocked a PB. New bests to Sarah and Naomi with an excellent debut from Laura who started with us 6 weeks ago in Group 5!

All the Juniors must have run a short course as each set a PB! Fantastic runs which bodes well for the future of our Club.

Many thanks to our timekeepers Carmel and Sandra and to marshalls and cyclists Jobbers, Annie, Yvonne, Matt, Jacob and Jen.

Hospitality was excellent and most of us staggered home at 10!

**** Update 27 June ****
Corrections to the posted times: Rachel's time should have read 22.26 a PB on the new course and Tony's time was an overall PB at 5k.
Apologies and congratulations to both.
Martyn

A few places still available for the London Triathlon - but be quick!
Triathlon davidjobling writes "Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity still has a few charity places left for the London Tri - this was one of the charities to which donations were made from the Witham Boxing Day 5 2008. This charity has provided support to a number of our members and families in recent years.

You'll need to be quick though, as paperwork will need to be completed by 29th June.

For those taking part in the individual event, fund raising of a minimum of £250 is needed and additionally the entry fee is payable separately to this.

The London tri this year takes place over the weekend of 1st and 2nd August.

For one of the places please contact Ann Brown or Allison at Helen Rollason directly on 01245 514535.

For any information on the tri or triathlon please contact me through the contact us link on WRC website.

Thanks.

David Jobling

2nd WRC Summer Championship 5k
News mediumt writes "This Thursday is the 2nd 5k race of the championship and we will again be meeting at the Square & Compasses in Fuller Street.  Sue and Vic always give us a good welcome and it's worth turning up for the après race grub alone!

If you raced at the last one, I'll try and get the "K" markers in the right place this time and if you didn't, why not come and give it a go.

We would also welcome any non runners who would be prepared to come along and help marshal.
 
I look forward to seeing you all there.

Tony."

Entry Forms for Upcoming Races
News mediumt writes "I have been passed copies of entry forms for the JAFFA Ekiden Marathon Relay, which is on Sunday 19th July 2009.  We had a good turn out at this event last year and all who went enjoyed the day, dispite the blustery conditions. 

Unfortunately, the race this year clashes with the Thrift Green 10k, which is an Essex Championship race and one of the club summer championship fixtures.

If anyone would like to take on organising a team for Ekiden, please see me for details.

For those wanting more of a challenge, I also have entry forms for the Para's 10 mile Endurance Run.  This is held on Sunday 13th September 2009, over the same undulating, multi terrain course used in Paratrooper selection!

The race is based at Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire and more details can be found at www.paras10.com

The week after the Para's 10 is the Cransley Hospice Road Races, with distances of either 10k or half marathon.  These feature measured courses based in Cranford, nr Kettering.  Again, see me for entry forms.

Tony."

Late Result - Capel St Mary 5
Race Results lorraine writes "
While others were sunning themselves at Southend, shopping at Bluewater or generally enjoying themselves, Kev Harper and Mick Poulter were tackling a 5 miler over at Capel St Mary.

The weather had really warmed up by the time the race started and the hills made for a testing course.  Kev ran true to form and came home in 3rd place in 30:15 (just a few seconds slower than Friday evening) with Mick Poulter finishing in 18th place in 36:32.

Could be a race to keep in mind for next year?

WHAT YOU MISSED AT THE CLUB - 22 JUNE
Training martynb writes "Ideal conditions last night at The Sportsmans Arms, Nounsley.

Tri results from Harwich over the weekend elsewhere but we had 4 members at the off road Mersea Round the Island 12+ where Mick Poulter clocked an impressive 1.37.46 putting him well up the M50 Division. Shelley and Dave ran together and clocked an excellent 1.39.54. Ross Silverton however came away with the silverwear finishing first MV60 in 1.44.07.Trophy presentation Tuesday!

We welcome to the Club Mark, Jenny and Neil Carey for the first time and welcome back ADW and James Carey. Good to see Becks back for the first time this Summer.

Club Standard Certificates are awarded to those having claimed and completed the required standards (see 'Links' to the left on this website for full details). Stewart Waller is the first member to have acheived standards at all distances and will receive his trophy next week.

An excellent turn out of 75 with Mellisa Duuvoisin and Penny Borley joining the Club for the first time.

No Bramston Thursday as we are off to the Square and Compasses for the second Summer 5k (3.1 miles).

Welsh Princess at Rayne next week.

Have a good week."
