Thank you to all our runners and volunteers last year. Entries are open for 16 Feb 2020
We were joined by Bodmin Women’s Running Club on Thursday for a very sociable Tinsel Run, taking in all the best Christmas lights Bodmin has to offer! Plus the added bonus of two mulled wine/mince pie stops along the way.
Congratulations to Lisa, whose name was drawn to run the Virgin London Marathon 2020.

More running adventures had by our members this weekend!
Antony and Nichola made the trip across the border to Mothecombe in Devon for Race the Light! Mud, hills and river crossings stood in their way and they managed to finish with a smile!
Then this morning a bunch went out on a Sunday social for a recce of the Bodmin Half Marathon route! If you’ve signed up, don’t worry the hills are still there! If you haven’t signed up yet, then you can here… https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?event_id=6161

There was fine running at the Fordh Sen Mighal on Saturday. this goes from Lalant overland to Marazion. It’s organised by Bus Viken Events and, as always Dave and his team did us proud.
The weather was perfect and, for a change, it wasn’t too muddy. There is a lovely atmosphere at this event and this is the fourth staging. The highlight was seeing both coasts from Trencrom Hill, with Sir Keith Hill in his Crusader gear!
To reach the finish in under two hours is a great achievement. This is exactly what Anthony Boardman did. He finished in 1.56.25. Well done Antony.
Next in was Jane Stephens in 2.08.03.
Richie Richardson and Louise Richardson came in in 2.24.44 and 2.34.00. (Personally, I would have let my wife win, but there you are!!)
Claire Barlow, Rebecca Bateman, Rachel Wilsher, Michael Reed and Ian Ringer all ran together and, after much messing about all came in around 2.45.
It was a fabulous day out on this very special course. Hopefully it will continue.

Busy weekend without a single thought given to Christmas shopping by our runners!
A hardy bunch lapped up and basked in the Cornish mud/rain/wind/hills at the Fordh Sen Mighal on Saturday and the Christmas Canter at Cardinham today!
Meanwhile… Fran and Nic had to cope in the Canary Island sunshine while tackling the Lanzarote Half Marathon to complete their 12 halfs in 12 months challenge!
Well done Jane Stedman for joining her friend Steve Jackson in his 400th Marathon at the Plym Trail Xmas Marathon
Great running everyone! 💙

The annual Race for Wildlife took place on Sunday. It is organised by Mounts Bay Harriers with the aim of raising funds for Cornwall Wildlife Trust. It is number 5 in the Multi-terrain Race Series.
To use a cliche, it’s a race of two halves: on road up through Madron then footpaths and fields (very muddy) up to Madron Moor. Here the stoney track takes some concentration but, if you are so inclined, the view out to St Michael’s Mount is breathtaking.
At about 4 miles you hit the tarmac again and from then on you gradually loose height making for some quick and sustained running – a delightful canter to the finish, 7.5 miles in all.
Nine BRRs were out with Damian and Antony coming in under the hour. Here are the times:
Damian Philp: 56.12 (45th)
Antony Boardman: 59.39
Andrew Vosper: 1.01.37 (3rd in Age Group)
Jane Stephens: 1.06.40
Julie Oxenham: 1.07.52
Claire Barlow: 1.11.30
Ian Ringer: 1.12.51 (3rd in Age Group)
Katrina Verran: 1.15.11 (with a nasty cold)
Nichola Sinclair: 1.16.04
Dee Smith: 1.23.17
Although it was chilly at the start, it was a bright sunny morning making the running conditions ideal. The muddiness is to be expected and the pools on the high ground made for some pretty dancing. All in all, a delightful race. A fitting end to the MTRS year.
Well done everyone.
