It was a warm evening for the Autumn handicap with beautiful clear skies and an impressive sunset – what more could you ask for? Twenty runners took part and it was good to see familiar faces as well as some new members too. It’s fair to say that there were some impressive performances from the younger club members, who were determined to show the more experienced runners how it is done! Well done to Jamie Walker, who won the trophy with an impressive time of 29:33. He also claimed 100 grand prix points. Katherine Hogg, Toby Walker and Henry Linter finished slightly before him, but didn’t have enough races on the database to qualify for the cup. Many thanks to Mike and Eileen for timekeeping, Kathy for her help at the finish and Myra, Dinesh, Ian, Steph, Amanda, John and Pat for marshalling the route. Our Winter handicap is traditionally held on a Sunday morning after Christmas – date to be confirmed. It would be good to see even more people there, so let me know what would appeal to you – fancy dress… a social meet up afterwards…
