British Masters Road Relays Sutton Park Saturday 15th May

The British Masters hosts a range of events and can be viewed via the site www.bvaf.org.uk.

We fielded a V60 team yesterday in the British Road Relays held in the great setting of Sutton Park , Birmingham . Selected and representing Wilmslow were Tony , Andy and Mick.

This was a prestigious blue ribbon event and one that we will certainly want to target in future years .

On arrival , with tents pitched everywhere , a 40 page printed programme and clubs representing the extremities of Britain , we knew we were competing at a National level !

Clare Stevenson appeared and with her previous experience gave us an impromptu briefing !

Close to 50 teams were competing the V60 category , including last years bronze medallists Altrincham .

Andy was to run leg one , Tony leg two and Mick bring the team home .Three legs of a shade over five miles of an undulating parkland course with a very early testing hill.

Andy ran an excellent first leg bringing us back in tenth , allowing Tony to pull back some more places to seventh ……Mick had a big ask to chase medals but captured a further place and the team finished an excellent 6th in our first trip to the British Masters Relays . Altrincham were outside the medals this year finishing 8th.

We await final results via the above site but leg times were approx :

Andy : 18.40

Tony : 18.50

Mick : 18.22

A great event , a great result and one we want to target in number next year . Its a tremendous sight to see our club competing at a national level.

Nick.
