The last race in the Series – the Conwy Half Marathon – has been put back a week to the 24th November. Apparently there was a clash with the World Rally Championship on the Great Orme, so the organiser had to re-schedule. Refunds available if you've already entered. Andy
Life In The Fast Lane Tony contacted me about writing a report in Ian’s absence. I did point out to him that my role as unofficial uninvited sweeper precluded me from seeing anybody, therefore it would be difficult. Undaunted, he asked for the race from the back and he would…
Running, an essentially individual and self fulfilling sport, rarely brings people together to perform as a team. The British Masters Road Relays in Sutton Park this Saturday, was an example of running being a fine team sport and illustrates the value of belonging to a quality club. There are many…
15-May-2013 Nobody can ever write a race report with the grace and insight of ‘The Ashcroft’ but in his absence these are my humble observations. The afternoon was typical of May, driving rain and high winds, looking out the window I really did wonder if it was wise to be…

Morecombe Half Marathon, Sunday 12th May 2013. After carefully monitoring the weather forecast for the last few days I wasn't looking forward to this half despite the promises of a flat and fast course. Upon arriving at Morecambe it was obvious that nobody else was particularly looking forward to running…
