At the half way stage of Tha Sprunce, race 1, week 1 a total of thirteen runners have completed the course with one DNF. This first race remains open until next Thursday evening, 28th May. Runners can repeat the route in order to improve their times.
Neil Northrop (32:50) and Sally Fawcett (36:44) hold the course records. Several runners reported having lost bits of time here and there working out the correct route. No doubt they will be quicker next time and they’ll have to be in order to knock me off the top of the handicap adjusted table!
The Sportman’s Pie Night was definitely a success. The Sportsman are also selling bottled beers, which I think are Farmers Blonde and Timothy Taylor’s Landlord. Please note that Pies have to be pre-ordered either via the Sportsman’s Facebook page or by texting Karen on 07758 897560, preferably by Tuesday each week.
