Results for Regency 10k, 15-Apr-2012

16 Sphinx AC runners took part in this popular event, which marked the start of the 2012 Warwickshire Road Race League.

Congratulations to Ashley Miles on finishing second overall (first veteran) and to Jackie Stuart and Sam Wooding on their distance PBs. Also, well done to the brothers Andy and Ian Wilkinson and Paul Slatford on the debut wearing of their Sphinx vests – you have finally arrived gents!

Results for Northbrook handicap, 04-Apr-2012

Four Sphinx AC runners infiltrated the first of this year’s Northbrook handicaps, which had to use an alternative venue due to road works on Brown’s Lane. The run was at Coundon Park (3.25 miles, completely off-road) and conditions were abysmal – it was freezing cold, windy and raining. Janine Miles and her dad (George Wilkinson) came along to support and take photos but it was too grim to get any decent shots.
