16 Sphinx AC runners made the trip to Foxton Locks, near Market Harborough for the 6th race of this year’s EMGP Series, equalling our best turn-out for Silverstone last month. As race routes go, this is as straightforward as they come; almost a perfect square with the downhill on the way out and the uphill on the way back plus a couple of laps of a field thrown in at the start and finish for good measure.
Nine Sphinx AC runners ran as guests at the latest of Northbrook’s 5k handicap races in the Coundon/Allesley district.

5 Sphinx AC runners made the trip to Brackley in Northamptonshire to run this friendly 10K race. A mixture of road and trail, a disused airfield (with an extensive range of pot-holes), a couple of steep climbs and the quaint village of Turweston makes this one of the more interesting events of the race calendar. A very well-organised and well marshalled out and back course with a technical T-shirt and goody bag offered excellent value for money (and nothing extra to enter on the day).
Three Sphinx AC runners took on the hills around Bourton-on-the-water in the Cotswolds, in this charming but challenging evening race.

Coventry 30 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with 2 first-timers and 2 PBs.

14 Sphinx AC runners made the trip down the M40 to Banbury for the fifth event of this year’s EMGP Series. The rain held off and running conditions were perfect. The Banbury course is an undulating circular route with a tough climb around the three-mile mark, but a long flat one mile run-in along the main road. Congratulations to Ashley Miles on yet another M40 category prize and seventh place overall.
Mary Bench represented Sphinx AC in this 22 km (~14 mile) off-road challenge in the lake district. Mary had the option of doing the 11 km but – being a true Sphinx – scoffed at a mere 11 km and plumped for the 22 km version instead. Official results are here: http://www.greattrailchallenge.org/Results/NameSearch.aspx?r=338&surname=bench MARY BENCH 1665 Sphinx AC 256 02:31:40 Mary said that she “absolutely loved it with stunning scenery”.
