Cirencester Athletics and Triathlon Club

ROBBIE BROWN has won this year’s Men’s Club Road Running Championship at Cirencester Athletics and Triathlon Club, making a fitting end to his season of great performances.

Robbie dropped just five out of a possible 120 points having been first or second in five out of the six local scoring races.

With only one point fewer, after another set of fine results, veteran Kate Sackett won the Ladies' Championship.

Howard Ewan was runner-up in the men's series with Dave Bell, super veteran Gordon Jones and veteran Adrian Williams not far behind.

Things were even closer for the women with Rachel Ranger a well-earned runner-up beating third-placed Karen Higuera by a mere two points.

The same 66 club members were eligible for our second club championship designed to encourage more race participation and recognise improvement.

But as one member is not able to win both championships, Robbie had to give way to Howard, with Rachel the outright winner in the Ladies' Championship.

Karen was again a close second and Barbara Thomas’ dedication to running 100 races every year was rewarded with a hard-earned third place.

Parkruns

RAU student Ollie Pritchard ran a PB at Swindon to finish first. Isaac and Jacob McAdam were not far behind in third and fourth places despite running in fancy dress. They, together with Ollie and Luke Campbell, chose a swimming theme which enabled Isaac and Jacob to run bare chested, Ollie in arm bands and Luke (who was just beaten by Martin Croucher) in a rubber ring and snorkel.

Elsewhere Kate Sackett found time to run in Hull, the current city of culture and James and Liz Thomas ran on their Cornish holiday.
