Martin Croucher notched up marathon number 128 when he completed the North Downs Way 50k Ultra Challenge on Saturday.
He summed up the day like this, “The run was very enjoyable. It had a bit of everything, lovely views, great volunteers and, of course, excellent food choices.” Of course Martin!
Another fantastic result.

Last week Ruth Fulford enjoyed a lovely, low-key event in Worcester.
The Pitchcroft 10k race, which has been taking place for 27 years now, is advertised as flat with PB potential and takes place over three laps of the perimeter tracks and footpaths at Worcester Racecourse. And no chip timing here, a good old fashioned stop watch!
Another very strong 10k run from Ruth.

There were club members at parkrun events all over the place on Saturday.
It was a Stickney family affair at Black Park, Slough with Joseph, Robert and Isabella all clocking age graded times of over 70%. Also with a fantastic age grading of 77.48% and 3rd FV75, Ruth Fulford was at Thornbury. Liza Darroch and Rupert Chesmore ran with visiting grandchildren at Gloucester City. Luke Campbell had a top ten finish at Tetbury.
At Cirencester there was a very exciting finish with Rob Forbes taking top spot after closing in on the lead runner in the last 100 metres – so close that both he and the second placed finisher were awarded the same time!
Ian Barrett was 10th overall and 1st MV50 with a 76% age grading. Howard Ewan battled it out with his younger brother whilst also pushing a buggy. Benjamin Conway improved on his course PB yet again as did Jake Yeo and Rachel McAdam – her age grading was an impressive 75%. Pam Wheeler was 1st FV65.
