November Race Report
Well November turned out to be a busy month for our members race wise.
It all started the 1st weekend of the month with Laura.C & Gillian. D getting 1st & 2nd in their age categories respectively at the Delamere Forrest Trail Half Marathon. Also on the fist Sunday was the inaugural running of the Crazy Legs Fairway 5 race with8 members taking part in this new race. Special shout out to Nick.C , Paul.B & Samantha who all posted podium finishes for their age cat’. I’m sure it’ll become a regular and popular event on the club race calendar.
On to week 2 and it was race number 2 of the Manchester Area Cross Country League at Kenworthy Woods. 8 club members (4in the women’s race and 4 for the Men’s) represented the club for an afternoon of running in the mud.
The second Sunday of November is of course Remembrance Day and while a number of our members embarked on the traditional club Remembrance ride to a local Remembrance parade to pay their respects, Paul.C, Emma & Andy made the trip up to Southport for the Windmill 10k Remembrance Run.
Meanwhile Steve.B was catching some last minute winter sunshine by heading over to Greece to post a fantastic time at the Athens Marathon, yes it starts at the place that gave the race distance its name.
Sunday 17thwas the date for firm favourite & popular race for the club, the Conway Half Marathon. Always well represented by members, 13 made the trip over to Wales to run the 13 miles which includes running up & around the Great Orme.
With Christmas rapidly approaching the 24th saw the first of this year’s festive races, the ever-popular Wilmslow Festive 10k. A great turn out with 19 of us joining the masses of Christmas trees, Santas, presents, Snowmen and even a Christmas dinner run around the streets of Wilmslow and surrounding areas.
