After more changes, this is the latest Race Diary for next year.

Results: the 2019 Remembrance Run:As always, it was a very atmospheric event with all the red and the two minutes silence – lest we forget.The conditions were as benign as they could be; sunshine and low tide making the under-foot going easy.

Top dogs for us were: Gail Hartill 2nd in A/G and 60th in 34.52: Damian Philp: first home in 39th in 33.13; and Andy Vosper**, 2nd** in A/G, 84th in 36.37.

Well that’s 11 from 12 for Nic Vosper, Knaresborough Half Marathon – Mother Shiptons Shuffle.
A crisp morning next to a chilly looking river Nidd. Four different races, ultra, marathon, half marathon and a 10k. I opted for the 10k as my ribs still hurt. An out and back two loops along an old rail track, woodland trails and minor roads. Well organised and friendly including lush cakes, chocolate and beer for all runners.

Thank you to those who have already commented on Runway Runaround in aid of Cornwall Air Ambulance. As far as I am aware there was just myself, Jacky Tyler and Karen Sully doing this race. Certainly not as scenic as the Cornish Marathon, lots of tarmac, Thomas Cook aircraft, and no shelter from the wind…..there was a slope though !!!. Jacky Tyler finished in 57:22 Karen finished in 1hr 08m and myself 49:20. There was no age groups but with most of Cornwall’s elite athletes elsewhere hopefully we would have done OK.

Well it started as a pleasant day in the sunshine when the 390 runners started off on the Cornish Marathon. After the worry of Saturday’s weather, it was a blessing that it took place at all. As it was, the course was hastily re-routed to take out the flooded Fowey valley. So it was an up-and-back to Dozmary Pool. Because of the last minute decision to go ahead, it was not possible to re-measure the route officially and most measured it with their watches as about 25.5 miles. From a GP point of view this doesn’t matter. However, if you have to provide evidence of having run a marathon, it may. Ho hum.

It was grim out there when the rain came, wet, windy and cold. Many suffered, with the last runners finishing in 6.5 hours. Hats off to the marshals, timekeeper and helpers for standing out for so long.

Our brave members of course did very well indeed. Here are their times:

Gail Hartill: 3.50.27 (second in age group)

Rachael Wilsher: 4.13.31 (third in age group)

Gemma Vare: 4.31.03

Jane Stedman: 4.31.03

Rebecca Bateman: 4.31.48

Michael Reed: 4.31.48

Helen Stephenson: 4.42.44

Kerri Rowe: 4.43.05

Nic Vosper: 4.43.05 (third in age group)

Zoe Buse: 4.44.29

Claire Barlow: 4.46.03

Lesley Taphouse:5.33.33

Sabrina Hicks: 5.33.36

Very well done all. That’s the GP races completed for the year.

See you at the Mob Match for presentations.
