January 2021 Winner – Ali Ameri
Congratulations Ali. Not only has he run 350km (well that’s his target and he’s only got 30km to do in 4 days) in January despite the terrible weather. But he’s run a 5Km PB and his very first marathon – sub 4 hours too. His love of running and the club is obvious, infectious and inspiring. And congratulations too to our other nominees for the month:
December 2020 Winner – Simon Jones Congratulations, Simon. Simon was nominated by a few of you for his superb performance at the Short Circuit Ultra on the 12th of December. The route was off-road and extremely muddy and the weather wasn’t particularly kind either. The course was 32.5 miles/52.3 km with 4,000 ft of climb, which Simon completed in 5 hrs 29mins, placing him a very impressive 6th overall! A great achievement All of this was fitted in around helping out at Junior training, which I believe he even attended the day after the ultra! And congratulations too to our other nominees for the month: Sunny Cheema, Shauna Corrigan, Boe Claybourn, Paul Craven, Alastair White, Martin Jones and John Ackroyd
