Steve Cartwright is organising another cycle wobble:- (email) We’ll do the Carsington Loop again. All type of bikes suitable but I’ll probably switch to my MTB for comfort (and confidence going fast on gravel!). Those of you that have done this before we’ll leave club in Shelton Lock, meet others at the River Gardens around […]

Four striders entered this 4.4 mile race with 102 finishing in total.   First back and 27th overall was Andy Bradley in 29.46, 63rd was David Askew in 32.14, 84th was Alistair Boyd in 34.33 and “I run everywhere” Dave Keegan came 86th in 35.48.   Well done all!!

Three shelton striders completed the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday and due to the organisers bizarrely refusing to publish results (apparently due to them saying they are private and confidential!!), I thought I’d share our results with you. Rachel Farrow 3:49:56 Louise Surgay 4:19:19 Steve Emerton 3:11:53 Thanks Steve Emerton for sharing these results with us!

Eight striders went to Buxton on a miserable rainy day to tackle this tough half marathon course.

Pascale Holden was 5th lady overall and third back for shelton

Starting at Alstonfield, this is a tough (and hot) 26.2 mile off road race and one Shelton Strider decided to put himself through it AGAIN!  Wayne Stevenson completed the race in 6 hours, 15 minutes. Mad man! Well done!

As most of the club were sunning themselves at Eyam on the Youth Hostel weekend, four striders decided to enter the Eyam Half Marathon. The views were stunning, the hills were torturous and the weather was slightly warm but the support at 4 miles (obviously a pub…) was absolutely fantastic…Dave Nunn and crew! Pas Holden

On a beautiful hot sunny Sunday, four striders made their way to Burton and ran the Burton 10!
