Well done to James Abrams on completing the Yorkshire marathon in less than 3 and a half hours.
Thanks to Ian Cunningham for the following race report:
On Saturday I completed the Worcestershire Beacon Race in 1hour 12 minutes 46 Seconds
A race described by the race organisers as a 7 mile multi-terrain event up to the top Worcestershire Beacon 1395 feet including steep ascents and descents and to make sure you are fit enough to complete this as THIS IS NOT A FUN RUN.
The course certainly matched the description and in a dozen or so occasions I even had to walk, 3 or 4 times enforced going up narrow paths by other runners in front, 3 or 4 times to just get my breath back and 3 or 4 times because it was quicker to walk than run and just prove this I even managed to overtake a runner whilst I was walking.
Congratulations to Paul Slatford on his 300th parkrun! Congratulations also to Imran Ali, Rachael Allen, Vickie Hand and Alexander O’Brien on their PBs.
A good turnout of 13 juniors competed in the first cross-country race of the season. All juniors did themselves and the club proud.
The second fixture is on the 20th November at Warley Woods (see the Juniors page for more details).
Well done to Katie Timms and Tom Padgett on their longest run yet, accompanied by Jackie Timms, with Mitch Timms having to assume the role of spectator (get well soon, Mitch!).
Trailffest is described as:
With the start up in the mountains at 710 feet elevation and the finish down by the sea, it may sound easy – but don’t be fooled! There are some very steep and challenging climbs along the way.
8 Sphinx runners completed this undulating 10 mile race around the countryside near Rugby. This is the club’s 10 mile handicap race so which of the 8 beat Jackie’s estimated time by the most? Details to follow later, either on the website, newsletter or both.
Steve Court has sent in the following ‘short report from a very long run’:
4 Sphinx runners competed in a 34 mile ultra at the weekend. Starting and finishing near Scarborough in the North Yorkshire National Park the route was a mixture of undulating Coast Paths and inland trails. The weather was warm and sunny giving great views. A very tough but enjoyable day out.
Well done to Ian Cunningham on his 50th parkrun. Once more, Coventry had a great team of volunteers, including Amarjit Randhawa, Andy Wilkinson, Kevin Dick, Paul Slatford and Rachael Allen.
It was a great team effort both on and off the road as 2 ladies’ teams and 1.8 men’s teams competed against all the other Midlands clubs. The ladies had teams of 4, each covering 4.33km; the men had teams of 6, each covering 5.88km.
Many thanks to those that drove, set up the tent, brought cakes, snacks and beer and contributed to an enjoyable afternoon.
