Bosley Fete Hill Race (from near the front but nowhere near …) This was a cracking Summer Series race. The long flattish run in across the fields gave the road runners a chance to recover the hard won advantage that the mountain goats had gained on the hill leading to…

In the absence of our race reporter (Ian A), the current crop of races are receiving a spread of reports covering the field. If Simon can forward some thoughts about the other placings and performances, we will have our race day trilogy pending the return of Ian. Andy was quick out of…
The Battle of Bowden – from nearer the back than the middle and failed PB attempt. I turned up with every intention of breaking 22.00 min barrier, my WRC PB is 21.51 set at a summer series race at Alex Park back in 2011. I ran two 5k's last Saturday,…

This race report is part of a trilogy…Andy Dodd has supplied the middle and Simon will present the remaining detail…Three perspectives ! In my experience this has always been a fast 5K although some think it a little slower now, due to some subtle course changes…My understanding is that a…
If Shining Tor is for ‘summer series points tarts’ (Ellis J, 2013), then Bowdon definitely isn’t! I travelled the short trip to Bowdon with fellow Group 3 members Alan Turner and Louisa Harrison. However, there is a rumour that Louisa has been promoted to Group 2 ? Well, if not,…
