A busy Remembrance weekend. Our runners were out in force at Stebbing, with other members also taking on trail, road and marathon challenges further afield.
Stebbing 10 (miles)
A fantastic WRC turnout at this Club Champs race. Now in its 24th year, this award-winning Remembrance Sunday race starts outside Stebbing Church with a two minute silence observed on the start line before the race gets under way. Special mention to Reece Hearn, Chris Pugh and Giles Sowerby, who finished as the 1st male team. And congratulations to Graham Eyre, who broke the MV70 record, just a month after DJ last broke it! Vikki Suett also claimed the FV35 club record. Well done everyone!

Hare and Tortoise Remembrance Race
The Hare and Tortoise Remembrance Sunday marathon in Brightlingsea, is a 6 hour lapped event – laps are a 10.54km undulating trail loop. The Last Post and Reveille are played before the start and an 11am silence is observed during the race.
Pete Banks completed the ultra distance, coming in 3rd overall. Ian Cuthbert completed a marathon, which place him 8th in the 6 hr event, but would have given him third place if he’d entered the marathon specifically. Well done both!
| Name | Distance | Time | Comments |
| Pete Banks | 32.75 | 5:48:46 | 3rd overall |
| Ian Cuthbert | 26.2 | 4:26:24 | |
Well done, all.
We will remember them.
