Boxted 5K
Simon Gallagher, Entered this to try and get a first silver standard, but due to a wrong turning, along with many others, half way round I was really disappointed to miss out on both a silver and a bronze. My mood massively improved when Carl Harper messaged me in the afternoon to tell me I was the fastest male in my age category. 15th overall and my first running trophy. Very happy with that! 00:25:57

Aaron Graves, 01:21:07
Jason Fury, PB in 01:45:37
Craig vernon, “Southend half was my 25th half marathon and by far the hardest one I’ve run. With one mile to go I had to run a 10-15 and just ran inside to get my bronze 🥉 Standard with just 16 seconds to spare.” 02:09:25
Jayne vernon, “OMG I can’t believe I have just run this and come well within my bronze standard of 2.13.13, I had to dig so deep to get here but this feels amazing. I took 22mins of off my PB. So I not only sit at the top of the table but be first in the shower 😁😁 Thank you to Craig Aaron and Scotty for encouragement on course .
Annas emoji text just before I ran and everyone’s comments on Strava. Thank you 🙏”Bronze std and PB 02:13:13
Zoe Fury, 02:33:47
Comrades ‘Up’ run 2024, 53.90 miles.
STEVE HART, So Mr Chairman…this was the not so ‘easy’ version of Comrades!!! It was always going to be a tough day out but made more difficult by feeling so unwell. The hills required a run/walk strategy with a couple being walk only. Even the downs were vicious & painful. The 1st marathon distance was predominantly climbing leaving a 2nd half that apparently should have felt slightly easier!! It didn’t!! The views were amazing. The people were great. The support was insane! I still managed to smile a lot! I did cry a few times with so much emotion. Ultimately I enjoyed myself & managed to appreciate how lucky I am. That’s the most important thing!! Thank you TRR for your lovely messages & always being so supportive & caring. 11:07:37
