We start this week’s roundup in Leeds, where we had four runners representing Wales at the Masters International Cross Country!

5️ runners also jetted out to the Netherlands on Sunday to take part in the Seven Hills 15k! A route which does everything it says on the tin, it looks like an amazing race congrats to:

- Phil Hambleton finished in 50:39

- Craig Blake in 54:50

- James Bull in 55:34

- Emily Fell in 56:36

Elsewhere abroad, Dave George completed his trio of Spanish Half’s, finishing the Media Maratón Nacional Orihuela in 1:49:35, and great to see Claire run the 8km race! 👏

From Alicante, to Gosport, congratulations to Lee Treadwell for completing the half marathon in a strong 1:50:10!

From the flat streets of Fulham to the hilly trails of Bath, congratulations to James Bruce on finishing the Bath Hilly Half in 2:04:41! Looks like a brutal race 🙌

Speaking of brutal races, Mark Palser took part in the Maverick Dark Castle race in Dorset. A hilly and slippy course, let alone in the dark, Mark did an amazing job and finished 🥇

Lastly, but very much not least, Mia Goddard had an amazing race at the BUCS duathlon on the weekend, finishing a hugely impressive 🥉! A magnificent result from Mia who’s in impressive form

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.
