Elsewhere on Saturday, we had several runners taking part in the Elan Valley 10 miler, a race which forms part of our club championships.

Julie Scholey was first back for the women, taking πŸ₯‡ F65 in 1:31:58! Claire Johnson secured πŸ₯‡ F75, with her efforts being awarded with a well earned bottle of wine! First back for the men was James Bruce in 69:58, finishing 5th overall in his age category 😍

From the hills of mid Wales to the shores of southern England, Shannon Walker had an amazing race at the Bournemouth Coastal 10k, taking πŸ₯ˆ F30-39 in an impressive 46:42! πŸ‘

Starting Sunday in San SebastiΓ‘n, Louise Flynn continues to put the club on the international map, finishing a brilliant πŸ₯ˆ woman overall in the Donostia Marathon in 2:48:38! Louise, you are a true legend πŸ”΄πŸŸ’

Elsewhere on Sunday, Dave George swapped Alicante for Wiltshire, competing the half in 1:47:58, an incredibly impressive half marathon streak! πŸ‘

Final shoutout must go to another club legend, Tom Flitcroft, who managed to do a parkrun before getting married on Saturday. No better way to celebrate a big day, although sorry to hear Ben beat you!

Club Safety Guidelines

The following advice is intended to keep our runners SAFE at all times!
It is also essential that, whilst out running as a club, we are seen to be polite, responsible, set a good example & not put others at risk.
AT ALL TIMES BE SAFE BE SEEN! You can never be too visible! During the day, always wear bright or light-coloured clothing - fluorescent is good.
At night we would strongly recommend that people ALWAYS wear light-coloured clothing plus a REFLECTIVE (not just fluorescent) bib or sash.
Clip on flashers are a great way to be seen. NEVER ASSUME YOU'VE BEEN SEEN. Always be cautious with traffic.
We would like to remind people that they are responsible for their own safety and that they run at their own risk.Β
