Once again records fell at the first evening race in this year’s Summer Series, as the Brinklow race again proved to be a popular club event with a record 54 runners taking part, one more than the record set last year and for the second consecutive year Ash broke the course record.
The biggest turnout for a handicap still stands at 58 (Monks Kirby in 2010) but that figure included 8 guest runners, making this is the most Sphinxie members who have ever taken part in a handicap race.
There were 14 runners competing over this 5.5 mile course for the first time, this included several new members who were taking part in their first ever club handicap race. It was one of our new members, Darren Hallett, who had a great run to cross the line first in 37:21 more than seven and a half seconds quicker than his estimated time. Darren was over 4 minutes ahead of Mick George (46:52) in second place with Craig Pears (39:02) coming home in third. Quickest run of the evening was Ash Miles in 30:48 with Paul Slatford (33:54) and Andy Wilkinson (33:59) completing the top three fastest runners.

As usual there is a wide variation of estimated times but the top marks for being closest to their estimated time go to Dave Kelly who was spot on with his estimate, commiserations go to Mike Wall who was only 1 second out in his estimate but only picked up second place.
The next handicap race is at Monks Kirby on Thursday 12th June starting at 7:00 pm. As parking is very limited please try and share cars wherever possible.
