London Marathon

The biggest day in the UK running calendar, the big one in the Big Smoke. Fantastic performances from all our members on a day with pretty decent conditions, but outstanding performances from both Pete Coates and the Heydonator, both PBing, and both breaking club records. Incredible stuff.

Silveroon Canicross 5k

Three of our ladies and their trusty canines were at this 5km race at Boreham. Can’t find the finishing positions, but Rachel & Lola finished in 26:11, Clarice & Stanley in 30:20, and Lysia and Finn in 34:28. Pick the bones out of that.

 

Wheatibix Trails

A two day event from the Essex Trail Event guys, and Terry Alabaster was our sole participant. He came an incredible 1st on the first day, completing the 7.5 mile course in 1:00:56, and came 9th on day 2, finishing the 6.8 mile trail in 1:06:07 (Though he added a mile on just for fun).
