Final Excel file of results to be posted when received.

Thanks to everyone who turned up and helped to make this one of the most successful events yet.

Well done to all who raced in almost perfect cool and slightly damp conditions. We look forward to seeing you all again at the next race!

Results also posted on permanent page here.

Not a great club turnout on Sunday 14 February for the 4th Booths Cross Country race where we had a team of 4 at Berry Hill Park.  Unfortunately the team of 4 included 2 supporters and a dog which meant it was left to Dave Ashmore to represent the club and actually compete in the race.  Well done to ‘Dash’ who did us proud coming home in 56th place and finishing as second vet 50.  Dash also somehow managed to help us finish 10th out of 11 teams and even more miraculously, our ladies team finished 9th!  Let’s hope we get a better turnout next week for the final race at Ilkeston on the 21st February.

Well done to Liam Fidler who ran a 2:56 marathon today at the Walt Disney Marathon.

Here are some statistics that show he ran a very good race indeed in very challenging conditions by all accounts.

Well done Liam.

Unfortunately but perhaps not surprisingly the Count XC Champs to be held on Saturday have been postponed until further notice presumably in light of recent weather and severe weather warnings for the weekend.

More news when we get it.

Another great turn out for the very first official race where runners braved the cold, paid their few quid and ran. The conditions were quite cold again and runnable with care. Many thanks to the marshalls for pointing out the especially tricky spots!

Well done to Darren King of Killamarsh Kestrels, Ian Monahan of Chesterfield District Athletics Club and Chris Adams of Killamarsh Kestrels who finished in first, second and third places respectively.

And it was a cold one! Well done for all who turned out to run and help. The conditions were cold but turned out to be runnable with care. Well done to Steve Gascoyne who put in another great performance despite the cold and for Liam Fidler and Krish Mahadevan for second and third places respectively.  Everyone was a little slower – with some exceptions. PBs for Dave Dash, Becky Heys and Nicola Blackburn.

Another sucessful QP 5K. Thanks once again to all concerned. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Can you think of a better way to celebrate The Season of Good Will?
Neither can I! The fourth race will be held this coming Saturday (19th December). Santa outfits aren’t compulsory but we certainly won’t be stopping anyone from dressing up for a bit festive fun. If you are interested in times, here is a reminder of the results from the last race. This is a race for everyone and you run it how you want to. The only rule we insist on is that everyone has fun. Anyone who fancies going in the cafe after the race for a cup of tea and a mince pie or something will have plenty of company I think now that the mornings are quite fresh. I think I’ll definitely be calling in!

A big thank you to John Cannon for organising the race – we now have our own numbers to reuse which is a nice touch. This race is looking better with each event. More people are getting involved in what is fast growing into a great Saturday morning club event with a great family atmosphere. Long may it continue. The race will be officially launched in the new year where proceeds will go to charity.

Remember, the next event is on December 19th . If you would like to run, could you please let John Cannon know in advance by filling in the form below? Be at the Cricket Pavillion for quarter to nine at the latest Thank you and happy running to all.

We had a cold but dry and sunny morning for the race with just short of 700 runners tackling the new 11k course from Bolsover Castle. We hope everyone enjoyed the event, we will be back same time next year but not sure yet whether it will be the castle again or back at the school. Anyone with any feedback, good or bad, we will be pleased to receive.

Thanks to English Heritage and Bolsover Castle, Bolsover District Council, our main sponsor Mizuno and also Keep On Running. Thanks also to everyone who ran and also those happy marshalls and helpers, without you we couldn’t put on the race. See you in 2010.

Here are the results.

Here are some photographs of the event.

Note to marshalls: Mike says you can collect your reward for helping out at the Park Run on Saturday 19th December.
