Greetings! Can I once again effuse my sincerest apologies from the very top of the piece. For various reasons, I won’t bore you with, time has not been my own this month! Boring introductions aside, lets crack on with May’s Member of the Month. It started with a bang! A popular and longstanding race fixture... Continue Reading →

As is usually the case, the beginning of April signals the beginning of the major Marathon season for club runners up and down the country. It remains to be seen if the old adage of “Winter miles, Spring smiles” rings true, but it does bring about a unique and exciting time for us running purists.... Continue Reading →

As the dust settles on the 3rd month and indeed first quarter of the year, it’s that time once again to look back over the performances that caught the eye and crown March’s member of the Month.

Welcome to the review and Member of The Month of the ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ month that is February. A month that started with a prolonged spell of ghastly stormy and windy weather and ended with the winds of change blowing through Europe...

3…2..1… HAPPY NEW YEA… wait a second! Can you believe that was over a month ago! Where does the time go? We are now 6 weeks in to 2022 – or should I say for the marathoners amongst the Green and Black army about 7 weeks until the ‘Spring Mara’ season! One thing I’m not... Continue Reading →

Sink into a comfy chair, Constant Reader. Pour a glass of something (‘Tis the Season after all) and let’s get down to November’s Member of The Month: November – the time of year we runners like to get a little dirty! 😉 We trade road shoes for trails/spikes and “enjoy” stomping around fields, through lashings...

Well now, dear Constant Reader, may I be the first to colourise a picture of a simply outstanding October for GRC? It certainly jumps out as one of the best months for quite some time. Such was the sheer volume and level of achievement, it’s fair to say deciding a winner has proven to be... Continue Reading →
Aaron Smith, Sept 21
Hello Constant Reader and a warm welcome to September Member of the Month. September saw the last throes of summer cling on like a toddler clutching a favoured toy to their bosom. It provided the ideal last few weeks of preparation for the fastly approaching October/Autumn marathons – the last long runs, the chance to... Continue Reading →

Races are well and truly up and running again now and August’s race performances proved that we’re very much back in business. Stuart Baty is one nomination that is having an outstanding season. His 5k run at Chase the Sun races was a 47s PB, his 2nd PB at the distance this season. Robin Atter... Continue Reading →
