Vale Royal AC Runners

Langdale Half Mararathon

A fantastic performance from Helen Whitby to finish 2nd lady in the Langdale Half Marathon.  Reputed to be the toughest road half marathon in the country, her time of 1:33 is superb and shows Helen is in great form.   Marcus returned to racing after some injury problems over the preceding month and returned 1:37.  Not a reflection of Marcus when in-form but it is good to see him out racing again.

Sandbach 10k

A successful day for Vale Royal AC with excellent performance from Andrew Clews and Stuart Doyle gaining 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Sutton 6 10k

Superb runs all round in the Sutton 6 10k which incorporated the Cheshire Championships and was the final counter in the GP series..   The race was run in lovely if somewhat hot conditions!  Stuart Doyle led the way in 34:01 for 4th place and in the process secured second place in the Cheshire Grand Prix Series (to be confirmed when results are posted).   John Todd is in great form at the moment and secured a new 10k PB of 36:52.   Good to see a good club turnout and some good support around the course.  

Vale royal performances:

Our extended family members also did well - Sara Atkinson got 1^st Lady 35 and 3^rd overall in the GP in 40:37 and Andy Blair finished in 41:48 for 75th place.  Well done Sara for a great result in the GP series.
