Here are the official results….although official is a rather loose term in this instance. Congrats to Stuart for actually staying on the right course. Rob Downs’ magical mystery tour sadly just cost the men the team prize. Note also how Mick Fairs has been fibbing about his age again. The…
I checked my watch, 39 minutes. Jo had been on my shoulder at the beginning, Owen had been ahead but dropped-out, Penny had nearly caught me on the second-lap hill but I now felt safe. I reckoned a couple of minutes and we would be back on the canal tow-path…
The version according to Mick Fairs This is a long tale but I’ll try to keep it short. After being picked up from home by Peter C and Steve D at 5.15 we turned into Kings Road where a long queue had formed due to an accident. This set back…
A tale of mixed emotions from Daisy Nook and Black Knight ( very for some ) A summary from last night as rumour has it that our newsletter and website will have a number more reports to follow ! For me , my first race since March ( that was…
Burtonwood 5 Mile – 14th July. I made sure I turned up on time for this one, unlike my last 5 Miler at Chester. A rarity for this summer with the sun shining for the 16.00 start, but a light wind was evident on one exposed section. The third running…

Still lacking the training for both fast short races and tough fell races I had the perfect excuses to try what I wanted to do anyway, namely the Wetton 10K discovered on the Staffs Moorlands web site. I’ve had a happy afternoon. It was great race; but maybe the truly…
Thursday, 5th July. The rain lashed against the car window. It was thirty minutes till the start and just time for a warm up and a quick recce of the course. I pulled my vest on and opened the car door – freezing cold! I jumped straight back in again…
Sunday 8th July. 7.1 miles, 1200ft. About 17 degrees. It’s a tragedy that barely 50 runners made it out for what must be the best hill race in Cheshire (in my book a close second only to the Boars Head race from Higher Poynton) – and so close to home…
