Sunday 26th September High up in the hills of Lancashire on a dull & windy afternoon, Jane & I ventured to the Northern Vets Track & Field Championships. Martin was convinced that the track was sloping & it should therefore be considered a fell race, one thing was certain,…

Mid week races are now a memory from the summer nearly over but one caught the eye . An Andy O'Sullivan production to commemorate the 72nd birthday of Dr Ron Hill , coincidentally 40 years since he won the Commonwealth Games in a then world record of 2.09 , in addition to the Boston…
Gawsworth 10k Apologies for being so late, I've been in Turkey but don't look as good on it as Gail did. Also apologies in advance, Macclesfield will also be late, and should enable Roy to move ahead of me in the challenge to run the highest quantity of races; you…
Sunday 19th September 2010 Gail Hill 2:00:54 Very pleased with my time. Had a fantastic day running in the Great North Run (my 1st time). The race was absolutely chocker block though – with 54,000 runners!!!!!!
19 September 2010 As it said on the can this was a chase around the delightful Boggart Hole. No, really it is actually a nice and extensive park hiding a lake and some fairly testing hills. The 3 lap course gave us plenty of chance to enjoy the scenery and…
12 September 2010 Well organised race out and back along the quiet roads around Blossoms Lane with a rather slippery off road loop around the footpaths around Handforth Dean. Entertaining and the times suggest it was even longer than the traditional Gawsworth course. 1 Owen Greene (Trafford AC) 35.172 Rob…
Gawsworth 10k This was a day which parted company with tradition. Sir Nicholas, no longer the local MP, nothing to do with expenses scandal, was not there to welcome us. Stephen Feber, Wilmslow's own Gawsworth specialist, had injured his ankle racing in Cornwall. The course, long famed for being 10k…
