Club Championship 2016-17

We are only a week away from starting a new Racing Year so see attached updated Championship Rules with a list of races for 2017. Lots of the races' dates are TBC as not all the running clubs have published their 2017 dates. I have left the Somerset Series races as they were last year as I'm sure a lot of them will be the same but keep an eye on the Somerset Series website for their 2017 list on http://www.somersetseries.co.uk/. It would be good to see more YTRRC runners taking part in this. There were only 2 or 3 who qualified with enough races this year. Of course as soon as the Awards evening is over you can start earning your hat for 2017 too.

Well done to all of you who have taken part in races this year

Castle Combe 10k 

From Elizabeth Diamond

Castle Combe 10km this morning, a nice fast course of 3 laps around the race circuit. The weather held off whilst I ran and I think I got a PB with a time of 58:24 so very happy with that and the nice finisher's medal.

Wimborne 10m

The full results can be seen here.
From Linsey:
So several us took the chance, after the awful weather last night, and trundled down to Wimborne to run 10 miles. For some this was because there is a certain awards night coming up and we had one more race to do to be able to achieve our special hats!! Yeovil runners were myself, jo Henley, Sarah House, Stacey Black, Denise Byrd, Mel Dodge, Katie, malcolm maxted, Terry byrne and nick Brooke.

Most of us beat our PBS, some by a little and some by a surprising amount. Luke was 1st Yeovil Somerset man in with a super (unofficial) time of 1.16.40 and Jo Henley was 1st Yeovil lady in with around (unofficial) time of 1.20.12. Super times.

I think we all liked the course and glad the rain stayed away. Super running everyone :-)

From Catherine:
Didn't get any photos at the Wimborne 10 but some of the others may have. Luke PB'd AGAIN with 1:16-ish first Yeovil male and Jo did 1:20 and first Yeovil Lady. Also Terry, Malcolm, Lindsay, Mel Dodge, Denise Byrd, Sarah House (I think) and me. I think that there may have been a few more I didn't see. Results not yet published. Kev from WSR took some pics.

Cornish Marathon

Today saw the Cornish Marathon, a hilly one with a cold start but lucky for us the wind and downpour went through the night just leaving a flood on the road to run through at mile 6 and again at mile 22. There was Paul Allen, Paul Meadows and I running this and for £24 you get a medal, Cornish Pasty and a Hoodie. A great marathon and well worth the travel down to Sunny Cornwall.

Marks Pub Run

SHERBORNE PUB RUN

We were in Dorset tonight. For the past few weeks we have been in Somerset. The two counties are very similar. They both have a lot of tractors. The Dorset tractors tend to be smaller though and covered in rust and mud.

I enjoyed the run. We kept the pace up tonight and there was a good turnout. We did lanes round the outside of the town, and a little bit of off-road as well but only because I went the wrong way. I meant to go down another lane. We also did a few of the older streets, and some newer ones on the western side of the town. Sherborne is a nice place to run round that is for sure. Thanks to Louise for organising the pub.

From Matt:

Mark Larcombe led the pub run around Sherborne tonight. From The Teddy Rowe (Skippers). A light shower didn't dampen spirits as we went down Horsecastles, round Castle Road and then found a muddy path to end up at the top by the Griffin School. Down to Oxley for a split back to the pub or a lap of the Lenthay area. Clear starry skies saw the end of the run and the rain had been forgotten... A nice run
