Last weekend saw a mass exodus of Striders to the sunny climbs of the Snowdonia National Park for a bit of a run. There seems to be little talk of anything else since they arrived back so it seems they enjoyed themselves.

A nice little hill on round 4 gave everyone who ran (13 in all) something to smile at and with Mr Amps having forgotten his shoes we witnessed him try 4 miles barefoot. Read more

FUN RUN RESULTS TO FOLLOW!
1489 Runners in total. Well Done!
Six striders made their way up to Cumbria in the horrendous traffic and rain to run the next headbanger Helvellyn & the Dodds fell race, just 15 miles and 4500ft of ascent (nearly half of this in the first 2 miles) over some leg numbing terrain. Certainly not for the faint hearted.
Well after the rain the sun broke out, underestimated by most but far better than the conditions we were all expecting.
First in for the striders and with an awesome result given the quality of the top runners was
Kenny Malton in 22nd in 2hr 47
Rob Donald 34th in 2h54
Marcel Darling 43rd in 3hr 00
Alex Buckley 62 in 3hr 11
Kate Wray 114th in 3hr 47
Shaun Cooper 119th in 3hr 52
Think a good weekend was had by all?
19 runners took the start and all 19 made it back with no-one actually getting lost – which is nice. Great to see people enjoying themselves and thanks for supporting it.

Masson Hill Fell Race (6.5 Km & 340 metres)
It was quite a hot sticky night in Matlock Bath, just right for a brutally hilly but enjoyable race. The tussle by the two in form Striders continues with Rob Donald coming in first by several seconds this time. Not to be out done Paul Brunt didn’t surrender his lead to James in a dash for the line (maybe next time James).
All proceeds from the race go to Holy Trinity C of E School in Matlock Bath who hosted a fab little race. This was proceeded by fish & chips in Matlock, cracking evening. If only it was a chip eating race! Well done everyone.
4th Rob Donald
5th Kenny Malton
13th Marcel Darling
32nd Sam Amps
48th Andy Bradley (v55 winner)
62nd Paul Brunt
63rd James Realy
75th Rachel Farrow
85th Dave Keegan
96 finishers
This is just the sort of race to get into fell running. Maybe we can get more Striders at this type of event?
Despite a couple of people going slightly off course the event was well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Well almost everyone.

We had six shelton striders take part in this tough 5 mile off road race with a total of 107 finishing the race.
First in and 3rd overall was Kenny Malton in 32.40 followed by Rob Donald in 4th in a time of 32.50. Alex Buckley was 27th in 38.14, 41st was (we think) Emily Taylor, 98th in 52.07 was Dave Keegan followed in by Chris Donald in 103rd. It was a two lap race in tough conditions so well done everyone!
A number of runners went to the midweek 1 mile and 5k Dave Denton on Raynesway on Wednesday. In the 1 mile and 19th overall was Ciaran Guilfoyle in 6.06, 22nd was Neil Hancock in 6.14 and 30th in a time of 6.53 PB was Dave Keegan.
In the 5k, Neil Hancock did a time of 19.20 and came 15th overall, Dave Keegan came 34th in 24.02 PB and there were 43 runners in the race overall. Well done team!
12 Striders ran the London Marathon on a hot Sunday morning. Amongst the 37,000 runners the strider stripes made themselves known. Fantastic results (and blisters!) all round and first in for Shelton in a PB of 2.38.36 was Sam Pearch. Well done Sam as he was 158th overall. Second in for the club was Gareth Brown in 2.58.52 PB, followed by Steven Hawkins in 3.01.50, Marcel Darling in 3.02.41, Steven Pezzutti in 3.07.11, first and only lady strider Julie Warner in 3.18.19, Roger Booth in 3.20.30, Matt West in 3.35.13, Harry Sloan in 3.43.33, Wayne Stevenson (complete with huge blister!!) in 3.49.41, John Thornton in 4.12.14 and Paul Webster 4.36.48. These results are awesome and a HUGE thank you to all the team supporters…oh yes…you were heard!
