27th April 2008 A really nice undulating 10k and classic Summer Series race with close to record breaking turnout. Mud bath finish spoiled the times but added to the fun. Position Time Name Club Category Race No 2 00:33:20 NICHOLS, Damian Wilmslow RC All Men 318 8 00:34:55 DOWNS, Rob…
Another big turnout at Bramhall Park and the runners lined up in bright Spring sunshine. We had 87 recorded finishers, almost exactly the same as last week although around half were first timers. Are we are drawing in new enthusiasts or killing off people after only one race? I guess…
Wimbledon Common time trial….. Not content with holding the course record at just one of the uk time trials, this morning Mike dragged me out of bed for an ‘easy’ 3 mile jog to the common. There he ran 16:14 and finished first man, running not far off the course…
13th April 2008 Of course there was another big race on FLM Sunday. A great win for Damian against some tough opposition. 1 Damian Nicholls 32:4411 Malcolm Fowler 34:44 1 V4572 Paul Nichols 40:49
Big turn-out, over 80 runners, the marketing has obviously gone well and the organisation ran without a hitch. Unexpected runners were Sally & Mike. They’d come-up for the weekend to run Whitley! Endorse Rob’s comments on the course; the undulations make it excellent for training but difficult for a PB.…
29 Wilmslow runners made it to the Sandstone Trail race on Sunday 6th April. Conditions were excellent, if rather wet underfoot, with clear sun and a full covering of snow. The race organisation was as delightfully amateur as ever, with a posh lady starting us with a hearty ‘orff you…
Ran a nice local race today, the Gin Pit 5. Well worth a ride over, guys, well marshalled and run by Astley and Tyldesley. The race is run round local trails, and is 1 small loop and 2 large with a very tricky little incline on all three laps. The…

Ron Reed ("Rocket") sucessfully completed the Wilmslow half in 3 hours 13 minutes. He is the first V80 to finish the event. His magnificent achievement left the organisers struggling to find a suitable prize! Ron set off slowly from the rear of field (3500 runners) and progressed steadily round the…
