We had  a number of runners in the Flete 10K and 5K the previous week
and in the Storm the Fort 10K on Sunday 13th

Also Ronnie Haynes finished 5th overall at Worcester HM in a time of 1:13.08 .
He was just outside the long standing V40 record set by Neil in 2005,
apparently Ronnie and others were sent the wrong by by a couple of marshals
and had to retrace their steps so might have been even closer to breaking the record.

Ronnie was also in top 3 V40’s which meant he qualifies for an England age group vest.
Simon Fitze ran 1:16.38 so was just outside of his existing club record.
He may also have qualified for an England age group vest.

Isabella Trowell took part in the ESAA Combined events at Bedford over this past weekend

Cross Country season begins at Newnham on Sunday 11th October

The new Westward League Cross Country season begins on Sunday 11th October with the following

Fixture 1 – Relays @ Newnham Park, Plymouth
 
This is a new format to start the season this season, many regions around the UK start Cross Country season with a relay event
and it’s seen as a good way to transition into Cross Country racing.
Each relay team will consist of 3 athletes, each athletes leg time will be used to calculate points for scoring in the league.
Athletes in incomplete teams will still score league points.
Prizes will be awarded to winning  teams in each age category*. If funds allow prizes will be awarded to teams finishing 2nd and 3rd in each age category.

*As per the league scoring for teams the masters category for the relays is any athlete of masters age i.e. v35 for women and v40 for men.

The course map is shown here >>>

There are races for both seniors and juniors.
If you are keen to take part please contact Becky Lee
