Results for the Centruions Grand Prix (2 of 6), 06-Dec-2015
The turnout may have been affected by the Sphinx Christmas do having happened the preceding evening but that didn’t stop Mitch and Jackie taking first place in their categories. Well done to both.
We have no confirmation as yet whether Lisa did as well at the post-race raffle as she did at the Christmas do raffle.

Result for the Beacon Trail Half Marathon, 15-Nov-2015
Ian Cunningham has sent in the following race report:
I completed the Beacon Trail Half Marathon on Sunday in 2hours 10 minutes 10 seconds finishing 185th out of 295 finishers.
The event was in the Beacon Hill Country Park Leicestershire.
A two lap course within the country park which the race organisers describe has several fast down hill descents or as Runners world describe a very tough course.
All I can say is that I was completely knackered at the end and still have sore legs 24 hours later.
