Oh yes, 1990…those were the days. Glasnost, perestroika, poll tax riots, Madchester, Hacienda, Gazza's tears and……..Malcolm's victory at the Congleton half (or was it 1991?). Could there be a repeat? Would the (much) older legs show the young 'uns how it's done? In the run-up to this year's race Malc…
The tables have been updated above. With two races to go the final positions are beginning to take shape! Don
4th October 2008 Second place and a fine course PB by Stuart signals his return to full power – his 82.22% inches him just above the all-conquering Jim in the age graded league. The performance of the day however was from a 9 year old Manchester Harrier who won the ladies…
Tropical storm Laura instead of hitting land in the southern states of the USA travelled up the eastern seaboard, messing-up our weather in New England. It was then expected to fizzle out across Canada. Instead it gained strength over Newfoundland, was picked-up by the Gulf Stream, followed us home and…
The times are not very reliable, often rounded down to the nearest minute. Mine is 12 secs adrift of my watch. Chris and Andy Watts were the wrong way round, but have now been re-ordered. Trevor seems to be missing in the official record (he actually took 347th place with a time of…
Sunday, 28th September Ideal conditions for this undulating run – 2 laps of the city centre then down to the river through the park and back. I'm still not ready to join the sub-35 minute club though. 1 Matthew Livingston 32:506 Trevor Morris 35:03 622 finishers
26th September 2008 Another great time by Damian. But it struck me that while most of us have to travel a fair distance to find a race we can win … 1 Orlando Edwards (Shaftesbury & Barnet) 15:262 Damian Nicholls 15:37 Full results at http://www.serpentine.org.uk/rdb/showrace.php?race=4555
28 September 2008 Perfect weather and a friendly atmosphere made for a great race. Mark Bale achieved the rarity that is a PB on the hills of Macc. Thanks to all the Wilmslow supporters out on the course. 1 Andi Jones (Salford) 1:07:513 Andrew Lamont (Macclesfield) 1:14:425 Rob Downs 1MV40 1:15:34…
27th September 2008 In perfect conditions the unstoppable Jim set about re-inventing his 5k PB on one of the slowest courses around and moves to 4th on the all time list. The only thing he needs to work on now is smiling for the camera. A great run from Nina…
The following pictures (from Tony) show some of the members of our Sutton and Cheshire Grand-Prix winning teams – Men first, Ladies second. Both men and ladies finished first teams at Sutton (and have the wine and beer to prove it!). An excellent performance from everyone both on Sunday, and…
