Great Northern Half

This is a relatively new event and the first time that a half option has been available. There were a few teething issues such as the muddy car park and no official times for those who entered on the day which was a little disappointing as it was a chip timed event. In addition to this is was a very cold day 🙁

A great day and great turnout – some parts were muddy indeed very muddy on the gents third and final lap whilst other parts were firm and rutted. A good all-round test of ones ankles over a never ending course!

This challenge of approximately 26 and 15 miles, depending on how far you want to go of course follows footpaths, byways, tracks, and minor roads, and with the kind permission of the Duke of Rutland, goes through the Belvoir Estate. Both routes start and finish at Harby Village Hall and are clearly way-marked with coloured tape. There are checkpoints roughly every 5 miles providing free drinks and snacks.

Cannock Chase Trig Point Race

This race involves 500M (1500ft) of climb over 27K (around 16 miles) – it’s a course where you self navigate for the best route and a long distance so not for the faint hearted. Also as self navigating be prepared to do more than 16 miles!!

Charity Cheque Presentation 2015

On the 2nd of December 2015 we presented cheques to our two nominated charities. Following our successful 2015 10K Race we were able to donate money to two charities.

The British Heart Foundation whose mission is to win the fight against cardiovascular disease and our vision is a world in which people do not die prematurely or suffer from cardiovascular disease.

We support this charity following the passing of one of our member’s parents. This is to show our support/respect and appreciation for this member who also sponsors our annual Sinfin Classic 10K race through his business at M&D Engineering Ltd.

JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) who are a type 1 diabetes charity who fund research to cure, treat and prevent type 1. They work with government, academia and industry to accelerate research in the UK and within healthcare policy to ensure that the outcomes of research are delivered to people with type 1 in the UK. They give support and a voice to people with type 1 and their families.

We support this charity as Fiona’s daughter has Type 1 Diabetes. Fiona avidly participates to raise money for the charity throughout the year at Marathons / Half Marathons and the odd charity evening. Other Sinfin Runners have also participated in Marathons to help support the cause.

Brian – 1.32.08

This was my first overseas attempt at a race. The weather was pretty warm at 20 degrees so maybe too hot. I must admit that I was hoping for a slightly better time and to get a PB but I did make a bit of a schoolboy error at the start of the race by starting too far back – I spent about the first 4K weaving in and out of runners and trying to avoid being tripped up.

Good to see Duncan about again – he does show up every once in a while :). My intention on these races was to get under 20 minutes in the 5K race. My excuses were as follows –
1 – I ran the 1 mile race too fast!
2 – It was windy and it started to rain after around half a mile so the race was as miserable as sin!

Then to cap it all there was a problem with the timing on the 5K race so, although I ran the times I’ve published, apparently John beat me in the official results!!!!
