Autumn Relays - Wed 26th Oct 2016

The thirtieth running of the Top House Autumn Relays was held on Wednesday the 26th of October 2016.  A cool, slightly breezy evening welcomed the 48 runners (16 teams) taking to the start line.  It's amazing what running as part of a team can do with 34 runners being faster than expected, with a couple exceeding expectations by more than 2 minutes (or maybe the handicapper just got it disastrously wrong!). 

Congratulations go to the winning team of Hayley Raithby, Dave Bradley and Liam Marsh, after a much better than expected first leg by Hayley both Dave and Liam produced solid runs to give team L a victory over team J (D McGarry, C Calverley and E Hetherington) by 18 seconds.  Although being caught by Jake Masterman, Dave Roberts showed huge determination to hang on to give his team third place, even though both teams were credited with the same overall time.

Jake Masterman was the fastest on the night with 12:28, with Leanne Herron, the quickest female with a time of 14:48, just 3 seconds slower than her own female veteran record from last year.

With 11 runners taking part in the Autumn Relays for the first time this gives a total of 340 different competitors over the years, with the ever reliable Steve Gillespie continuing with his incredible record of having completed all 30.

Thanks to Kevin, Liz, Dave, Andi Capper and all their marshals/helpers for ensuring the event continues to run as smoothly as ever.
