Please go to the club championship page.  There are no results for the Lichfield fun run! I need those that ran it and/or the Derby Fun Run to email me so I can add your result into the standings:

I believe that Rachel Farrow was the only Strider in the Marathon this year and training has been going well with more than 20 minutes off her first marathon time she was back in in exactly 4:04, well done super effort.

They have been at it again. Silke and her dog Cara were 4th in their category at the Canix event at Cannock Chase.

Kenny Malton and Marcel were the only Striders at this English Fell Championship race around the Edale Skyline, postponed by snow in March. With 22miles and 4500ft of ascent this race is already known to be one of the toughest races in the peaks. It didn’t surprise us that it was actually tougher than expected probably due to the heat and not rain. So in 39th  Kenny Malton 3hr 17, followed in by Marcel in 55th in 3hr 26. Awesome and very well organised event by Deak Peak Fell Runners.

For something a little different, Silke and her dog Cara were 3rd in their category at the Canix event at Beacon Hill. Was Cara wearing her club vest?
