Marriott’s Way Trail Events 2019

I honestly think it will be difficult to run through such a lovely area on such a beautiful day.

The sun was shining, the course was in great condition and the organisation was great (although, a couple of extra marshals would have come in handy!). Drinks and snacks at the end were well received.

A big shout out to Glyn who whoop whooped his fellow RntS at the 1.5 mile to go mark. It was brilliant to see him on the course.

Nur was the only RntS taking part in the full Marathon today, while Amanda, Cat and myself did the half.

Official Times:
Marathon
Nur – 5:00:11

Half Marathon
Amanda Marshall – 2:02:21

Anglian Cross-Country Championships 2019

Brilliant running by Abbi and Amberly who represented Norfolk in the Anglian Cross-Country Championships.

In the Junior Girls class, Abbi completed the course in 31st place, and in the Intermediate Girls class, Ambie completed the 3.75km course, finishing in 59th place.

Well done ladies, a great running future is ahead!

Horsford XC Series – Race 3

It looks like the Reepham cross country whetted Glyn’s XC appetite so he decided to take part in the final race of the Horsford XC series.

It certainly looks like it ticks the XC boxes (muddy and wet!).

Maybe we’ll get some members doing all three next winter?

Norfolk Schools Cross Country Championships

Well done to Abbi and Amberley who both took part in the Norfolk Schools Cross Country Championships.

Good luck to both of them taking part in the finals this weekend.

Abbi will be representing North Norfolk, Amberley Mid Norfolk.

Official Results:
Abbi finished 11th in her age group in 12:05
Amberley finished 14th in her age group in 18:07

Peddars Way Trail Ultra Marathon 2019

Awesome!

I think that word should describe perfectly the fantastic running by Lucy Mc and Glyn yesterday on the 48mile (!) Peddars Way Trail Ultra Marathon.

Both runners looked great at the various checkpoints and finished with a smile (just beating the wind and rain).

Well done to you both, we’re in awe of you!

Official Times:
Glyn – 10:10:16
Lucy Mc – 10:15:36

Snetterton Race Track 10k

Wells done to Hayley M who came away with a new 10k PB from the Snetterton Race Track 10k today.

Brilliant Running Hayley.

Reepham Cross Country

Well done to the hardy RntS who turned out at Reepham this morning to take part in their Cross Country run (approx 8.5k over two laps).

With the early morning frost (and the temperature hovering around 1 deg C) the scenery was magical, but then again, if you’re actually running it, going through the mud pit, crossing the streams and climbing the hay bale wall, I guess you probably didn’t notice!

Well done all. That change of clothes was certainly needed at the end!

Official Times:
Glyn – 48:18.4
Cam – 52:52.7
Allison – 1:06:11.2
Chris P – 1:12:22.7
Kirsty – 1:13:51.4
Charlotte – 1:13:52.0
Hayley J – 1:16:57.7
Vikki – 1:23:37.8

Kudos to Ceri who completed the first lap but retired at that point. Also a mention to Milo Powles who decided not to contest his crown for the muddiest male and stayed clean!

Thetford Trails 10k Series – Race 2

The first official event of the year with RntS members taking part (that I’m aware of).

Official Times:
Paula – 49:36
Allison – 55:47
Adam – 55:58
