2020 was the year of no championship due to Covid restrictions. After a cautious start to the year, we were able to have a club championship in 2021. As it was late to start, and events were still uncertain, we returned to the original format of one championship with a reduced number of races, including a very low key club time trial in Fairford. With a few changes as the year progressed, the Secret Santa 10 mile race in Hullavington was the final race in the 2021 Running Somewhere Else Club Championship.
It was so lovely to be back out racing in our yellow vests, we certainly had a strong field in a lot of the races. As a team we’ve shown spirit and support, and we’ve even picked up a few prizes on the way. I think I can speak for myself and Dave when I say we are very proud to be club captains of such a fantastic bunch!
The complete results are available here. Here is a summary of the prize winners:
Men’s Championship 2021:
1st Place – Mark Garrett
2nd Place – David Witnall
3rd Place – Paul Robertson
Masters trophy: Darren Jenner
Ladies Championship 2021:
1st Place: Rosie Hartland
2nd Place: Sharon Smith
3rd Place: Elaine Chapman
Masters trophy: Sarah Reynolds
Well done to our new club champions, a new name on the ladies trophy and a familiar name on the men’s trophy! Well done to Mark for competing in the most club races this year too.
Thank you to all who took part in our championship this year. Fingers crossed we can have a good year’s racing next year.
Happy Running,
Elaine and Dave, Club Captains
