Great North Run Charity Places

I have been asked if any of our members would be interested in running the Great North Run for the Bendrigg Trust. This is a local Lakeland Charity which provides adventure holidays for disabled children and is entirely reliant on dontions and fees.

Bendrigg would provide transport to and from the race, support, encouragement and race T shirt. They would be looking for runners to obtain in the region of £500 from sponsors. The race is on the 5th October. If anyone is interested in running it and supporting a local charity please contact Jo Winchester on 01539793092.

Anyone fancy the Northern Irish Championship race on 5th April. I am thinking of going and would love to fill the car and make it cheaper! There is more info about the race on the NIMRA site. I would probably set off at lunchtime on Fri 4th and aim to return Sat evening after the race.

Loughrigg fell race (AM)

Wednesday April 4, 2007 - 7.00pm

This popular race follows an out and back course from Ambleside to the summit of Loughrigg, a total distance of 4 miles with 1000 feet of climbing.

RESULTS & REPORT

Congratulations

Congratulations to Dan Golding on winning Coniston 14

An excellent result on home territory, with a winning time of 1:15:10.
This is especially impressive given the field of 1359 runners. This
follows  a second place in the Blackpool Half marathon recently.

Of course we now expect a sub 2:30 London Marathon and top 5 finishes in championship fell races (much more important)

Championship Races

With Eadale already full and others filling up quickly, it's time to get organised and to get your race entries in early (now) to ensure we have full teams out at races.

(Whatever next - charity bond places and a ballot?)

How about...

A wonderful fell race over rocky ridges with a freewheeeling descent from 3000 feet to sea level. Views of the sea, amazing wildlife and not too far away.

Sounds good?  Why don't we organise a club trip to Mull for the weekend of the race on 21 July?

Details of the race are here

Please contact me if you're interested.
