Well done to our winner of CMOTM for July 2025 – Ian Cuthbert. He was nominated for a great month of running, starting with great performances at the JR5k final and Ekiden, and ending with the hilly 45-mile St Cuthbert’s Way Ultra where he supported Chrissy for the first 26.2 miles, and going on to complete his first ultra.
June 2025

Congratulations this month are awarded to Annalise Etherington for her PBs at the John Roberts 5k (Race 3) and the Springfield Friday Night 5, within a week of each other. Coming off the back of a 10k PB in May, Annalise is going from strength to strength!
May 2025

This month’s congratulations are given to Sian Tate for CMOTM for May! For coming back from Lake Garda just 5 weeks previously, to achieving a huge PB at Halstead, whilst battling through the heat (again) to achieve it. Through sheer determination to have the run of her life and complete a sub 5 marathon that we all knew was well within her reach, Sian undertook hours of training, whilst balancing life and all its ups and downs and we are so incredibly proud of her. Not only that but then she went and got a 5k PB on none other than the John Roberts 5k route just 10 days later. Definitely going from strength to strength! Well done, Sian!
April 2025

Our CMOTM for April 2025 has been awared to Gemma Thomas – For being absolutely legendary, showing grit, determination and courage in the face of such adversity. After falling ill at mile 20 and spending 2hours in the medical tent, she still had the will to go on when most people would have pulled out. Walking 6 miles to the finish line to complete her first marathon, Gemma’s inspirational effort and admirable performance shows the true spirit of the marathon. An inspiration to all and raising funds for a very worthwhile cause.

A massive congratulations to our winner of Club Member of the Month for March 2025: Simon Parsons.
