The annual 'mixed ability track relay' saw 30 runners out in teams of 5.The atmosphere was brilliant with people able to chat to runners from different groups while they waited for their turn to run a lap. The winning team ran 37 laps which is 14.8km. This is an average of 6m35s/mile pace....and there was cake, lots of cake...

A vote of thanks is due to Emma Beveridge and Shaun Wilde for their prompt response to volunteering to organise this year’s race. So put July 19th in your diary.

A bit like London Buses you get 2 volunteers and then a 3rd in quick succession; Neil Pettie also offered to organise the race. Thanks Neil.

The club relies on individuals to do their bit, however small, to make it function for all. Good to have a pool of helpers.

Emma and Shaun will be looking for help with Marshals on the day (and runners)
