Club champs -new format.

Agreed Dunc, worked quite well...At least everyone raced each other once or twice this year. But 3 races spreads pretty thinly over the season...What about 3 from 4 to qualify next year?

Dalehead 2008

Congratulations to all who raced Dalehead this afternoon.
My quick back of an envelope calculations suggest the Keswick AC Club Fell Championships 2008 final tables are:

Ladies:
1. P Jackson
2. L Thompson
3. T Beetham
4. J Moore
5. L Dunn

Men:
1. S Hebblethwaite
2. M Fraser
3. D Troman
4. I Davies and D Loan (tied on points)
5. D Owens

A quick glance at the road champs tables suggests a number of runners could still take top spot. See thee at the Derwentwater 10!

Northern Veterans 10 Mile Road Race

This is a good event. First it's flat, so a chance to get a good time in. Second it's all Vets, so you can test yourself against the vets in your age group in the Northwest area.
The race is an open Vets-only race, for all 5-year age cats from 35 upwards. It is also the NVAC Championships for paid up members of the Northern Vets AC. Anyone can join NVAC - see the NVAC website. NVAC puts on lots of events throughout the year that you can enter as a member.
Date: 12th October 2008. Venue: St Annes Fire Station, St Annes on Sea. (Lytham area)
There are team awards for teams of 4 runners in all of the 5-year age groups up to V55. V60 & over it's 3 to count. But must have joined NVAC by 28 Sep 08 for teams.
Closing date: 11th October 08. No late entries or on day. See entry form details here
If you fancy going down to this race reply on this blog or to training@keswick-ac.org.uk and we can arrange car share etc if enough interest.

Three Shires Race

I am planning to do the Three Shires race on Saturday which I believe is now going ahead! Start time has been delayed slightly to allow for new parking arrangements (see FRA website for details).
