John Roberts 5k – Handicap results

14 July 2023 - By Jodee Mayer

What a night!

And not just because I couldn’t get the results spreadsheet to work – there was also tractor-gate…

As always, firstly, the biggest of thank yous to the volunteers:

• Steven Alder
• Ian Lucas
• Martin Embrey
• David Carey
• Andrew Read
• Beth Shippey
• Rachel O’Leary
• Celine Elson
• Simon Scott
• Owen Dare
• Paul English
• Zoe Coppin
• Maggie Mason
• Liz Stuckey
• Dean Whittaker
• Daniel Griffiths
• Darren Pyne
• Ann Johnson
• Colesy

Another thank you to everyone who volunteered at any of the races (a special shout out to Steven Alder, Ann Johnson, Dean Whittaker, Celine Elson, and Rachel O’Leary (and Laurie O’Leary in one way or another!!) who volunteered at all 4 (Celine even volunteering her daughter Zoe (again) at the last minute!). It might sound cliche, but these races genuinely cannot happen without you, we’re very grateful for the support.

Secondly, congratulations to everyone who took part in any of the series!

We have three sets of results: the 5k times, the handicap winners, and the series winners.
