A small but sweaty Wilmslow contingent pounded out 5 very hot miles around the outskirts of Wythenshawe Park. It is a dull course including stretches along the main road but the flat course had certainly attracted some fast athletes. We all enjoyed the finish round the athletics track lined by…
Call me sad , but as no post from our resident hack , Mr Downes( probably preening himself following race photo in July RW magazine ), I considered the various comments from WRC runners with regard the times run last night at the Dunham Massey 5k . Fact , 17…
22nd May 2005The 9.30am start was a bit harsh but it was a nice bright day with a cooling breeze as we lined up at the start on the Old Dee Bridge. Despite the name the race spends little time in Chester itself and we quickly headed out down nice…
Tuesday 24th May – we will meet in Alderley Edge at 07:00pm, at the Festival Hall. From Wilmslow direction go past Tony’s shop, turn left into Clifton Street, and at the end go straight over (left/right wiggle) into Stamford Road, and the Festival Hall is at the end. Park anywhere…
Here are the results of the summer series after 3 races (and details of future events). Another very good turnout with 21 club runners. Attendance is slightly up after 3 races compared to 2004. Some good battles appear to have been fought. Tom McGaff stayed ahead of RobDowns by a…

A flat course and fine weather ensured a large turnout and a quality field. Tony had encouraged a large Wilmslow contingent with the promise of "mug points". This was my first 5k and listening to the more experienced runners the only tactic discussed seemed to be to "set off fast…
Sunday May 8th 9.30am Caught up in Crewe! As sole representative of WRC, I thought I had better pen a note. Having failed on 2 occasions to break the 1.30 barrier it was time to dust down the shoes and get some serious practice for the Chester half. I attended…
The Waterloo 15k was the second event in this year’s summer series, bringing a number of new runners into the ranking. Click here for the latest placings, and information about future races. Next event is the Christleton 5k this Friday (13th), at 7:30pm.
It may sound like a wander through the woods in spring time but the Bluebell 10 is certainly no picnic. The start gave a hint of things to come as after just a couple yards we had to negotiate a steep grassy bank. The first couple of miles saw us…
