BRRs Presentation Evening

January 26, 2020 by admin

Thanks to everyone involved for organising a great evening yesterday

The Coaches’ award went to Billy MacKellar

Awards read out by Fran Vosper (Chairman)

Rachael Wilsher received the award for Most Improved Female Runner

Most improved male runner Damian Philp

Damian’s dance moves got a special mention

We were all been impressed by Nic successfully completing her 12 half marathons in 12 months challenge, and managing to fit in a couple of “really hard” marathons as well. Well done Nic

Lesley Taphouse presented a special award to Ian and Becky in thanks for all their hard work as coaches. We hope to see Ian wearing his Head Coach Tee Shirt soon and no doubt Becky will be making good use of her whistle during Tuesday Training

Thanks to Bea and Barnicutts for hosting the event

Plym Trail Winter Weekend and Storm Force 10

January 22, 2020 by admin

A great weekend of running….

It was the Plym Trail Winter Weekend where Dan took 2nd place in yesterday’s Half Marathon.

Jane took on both Marathons, so after yesterday she definitely deserved her mocha-stop halfway and even managed to finish 2nd female!

Storm Force 10 was the order of the day for a bunch of our runners this morning. A crisp and frosty, start soon warmed up with everyone finishing with some great times!

Well done everyone!
