Mark's Column - 21st June 2010Tough Team Challenge 18th June 2010 Once again EPRC were represented in the annual "Tough Team" race, a grueling 9 miles on the road, on the trail and of course on "the railway". Calling themselves "Gay Adventure Club", the three runners were Alison Cole, Jon Cole and Mike Burns. They acquitted themselves superbly well to complete the race placing 11th overall as a team out of 53 competing teams. A second team from Ellesmere Port were also entered calling themselves "Crazy Horses", using team members John Jennings, Catherine Evans and Jon Hawker. They threesome placed 26th showing what quality EPRC has at the moment both in speed and also in depth of team. The winners were "An Uneasy Coalition" from Wrexham AC in the form of Darren Rowlands, Mike Robbins and Tom Annable.
Wombourne Half Marathon 20th June 2010 Mark Dodd was EPRC's sole representative in the Wombourne Half Marathon near Wolverhampton, making its first comeback in 8 years as an event and was run by over 500 athletes. On a tough undulating course but in perfect racing conditions Mark ran his best ever half marathon placing 4th in a new PB time of 1:16:12 (5:49 m/m). With some beautiful countryside, this is one of the very best half marathons in the country.
Winning the event at a canter was Tipton's Martin Williams in 1:09:07 (5:16 m/m), with 2nd place going to Tipton's Steve Brookes in 1:10:41 (5:23 m/m) and 3rd spot going to Stephen Pettit of Ely Runners in 1:14:51 (5:42 m/m). Prestatyn Runners Riverbank 10k 20th June 2010 Matt Whitfield and Nicola Bird took park in this popular race. However as yet, race results have not been posted, so a full race report will be done for next week.
