Hello everyone!
After a few very wet and windy weeks, and a later than planned end to the championship season, I’m delighted to announce the final championship results.
The final few races have now been completed, including a club-organised replacement mini event for the cancelled AVR Wiltshire Half Marathon.
Right anyway stop waffling Ben, let’s see the final results:
Endurance Expert:
Men’s competition:
- Mark Garrett – 43 points
- Darren Jenner – 41 points
- Alan Powderhill – 34 points
Ladies’ competition:
- Zoe Markham-Lee – 34 points
- Kirsty Pitts – 32 points
- Elaine Chapman – 32 points
Short Stuff Specialist:
Men’s competition:
- Jon Last – 50 points (maximum)
- Mark Garrett – 46 points
- Alan Powderhill – 36 points (see note below)
Ladies’ competition:
- Jennifer Glass – 48 points
- Anne Gardiner – 41 points
- Elaine Chapman – 34 points
A note on the men’s Short Stuff Specialist category:
Alan Powderhill and Steve Sandercock both gained 36 points, so Rule 13 of the 2024 Championship Rules was invoked to determine 3rd place.
As this is a sub category of the main championship, head-to-head race performances were examined. Alan placed ahead of Steve in four races, Steve ahead of Alan in one, so Alan has therefore been awarded third place.
Well done both on a tightly fought competition.
Finally, it gives me great pleasure to announce our championship trophy winners.
