365 DAYS TO GO |
|
|
|
|
|
September 5 ~ Congratulations also to our 2010 Ladies Champion EMILY
EVITTS who knocked over four minutes off the previous year's winning
time to take the title in 1:37.41. Second was CLARE SCOTT of Hereford
Couriers in 1:44.25, with RACHEL RICHARDS third in 1:45.12. |
|
September 5 ~ Congratulations to our 2010 Worcester half marathon
Champion RORY McMAHON of Hercules Wimbledon AC who despite two falls
in the slippery conditions raced home in 1:22.15 - four minutes ahead
of IVAN PAWLUK of Worcester AC in 1:26.38 and WAYNE LAW in 1:29.34 who
was third. |
|
September 5 ~ We are delighted that 96 on the day entries gave us a
final race entry of 227 : an increase of over 10% on 2009 despite the
unpleasant early morning weather. |
|
September 5 ~ Despite the promise of fair weather, sadly the heavens
opened around 9.30 on race day, though after a wet start to the second
half marathon the rain did go away for a couple of hours and enabled
most of the field to finish under cloudy, but drier conditions. |
|
September 2 ~ Registration will be open from NINE o'clock on Sunday,
in the marquee at Top Barn next to the lake and the car park. On the
day entries are at £14 for UKA affiliated club members, and £16 for
unattached runners. PLEASE HELP STAFF BY BRINGING THE CORRECT MONEY. |
|
September 2 ~ 60% of the advance entries are male, with 40%
representing the fairer sex. |
|
September 2 ~ We currently have just ONE M60 entry and ONE M65, so at
the present moment both look likely to win their categories should
they finish. The oldest female category represented is F55, so the F60
trophy looks likely to remain in the box this year. |
|
September 2 ~ With time now run out on postal entries, we are
delighted that entries are up on 2009, though it is disappointing that
there are twice as many unattached entries as club runners. Local club
BLACK PEAR JOGGERS are by far the largest single club entry, with 10.
Malvern Joggers have 3 entries, with Centurion RC, Evesham Vale RC,
Spa Striders, Tewkesbury AC, Westbury Harriers and Worcester AC all on
2. |
|
September 1 ~ Currently the weather forecast for Sunday is looking
good, though it may be a little warm for running half marathons. There
will be plenty of water out on the course, but do make sure you drink
plenty of water before the start. |
|
August 18 ~ We are approaching the pre-entry level of last year, so
please continue to send in your entries : you will save £2 if you
enter before the day, and will have all the information to hand before
you travel. |
|
August 13 ~ The first Royal Mail card requesting payment because the
sender didn't pay full postage is received to-day. Somebody out there
sent in an A4 envelope with an ordinary stamp on it ~ if this was YOU,
you will need to re-apply as your envelope will not be collected from
RM. |
|
July
6 ~ UK Athletics race licence is approved. Number is 2010-101030. |
|
June
29 ~ Runners Information booklets have now been received back from the
printers, and all entries received so far have now been processed and
returned into the safe hands of Royal Mail. |
|
June
24 ~ UK Athletics race licence application is completed on-line. |
|
June
22 ~ Sponsor forms are received from St Richard's Hospice. |
|
April
23 ~ Seems the landlords at Top Barn have imposed a £1 parking fee :
this applies to ALL visitors to the venue, not just for the half
marathon, and is something we cannot persuade them to lift for the
day. Apologies to all entrants ~ bring £1 coin with you to speed up
entry. |
|
April
19 ~ Meeting at Top Barn to finalise details for the 2010 half
marathon. |
|
March
11 ~ The first entries are received for the 2010 race with Vincent and
Alison Chorley fastest off the mark. |
|
March
1 ~ The second Worcester Half Marathon is launched to-day following
discussions with St Richard's Hospice. The 2010 entry form is now
available - click on the link to the left. |
