Whilst the stalwarts were jogging round Swingate, the next generation were cutting their teeth at the Worthington 5 near East Midlands Airport. Joe and Max whipped round the 1.2mile fun run in 10th and 16th positions then the old man crawled round the 5 miler. It's a real grueler - the only circular course I've run that's uphill all the way! A veritable tarmac fell race. All in 26c temperatures. A great village race starting and finishing at a real traditional Marstons pub. Worth another attempt when the temperature drops!

Calver Peak Finish from the pub :) Results: Andrew Hunter 20th (S) ~36:05 Gary McMahon (D) 32nd, 2nd (V50) 37:10 Nick Lander 62nd 39:58 Simon Elliott 64th (V50) 40:15 Report (Andy Hunter) The evenings entertainment started with a left handed catch from Dark Peaks Andy Moore, following a single road bounce into the registration area, definitely a 6 for that one. Thanks to Simon for driving, the next 6 went past his motor and across the car park. A pleasant evening, not too hot and very dry under foot. No surprises with the course, the steep climb out the village sorted out the men from the boys ready for the steeper parts to come. Gary let me go from the start and watched me slowly get away, Simon struggled with the steep start, so a tougher warm up for him in future.

A great value race at £3 entry on the day with free food and drink at the finish. Remarkably friendly and well organised. Starts at the bottom of a steep wooded slope and the runners go up it like ascending a trench in the first world war! From then on it's runnable. Results

Aye up! Congratulations to Andy and Glennys on today's wedding. A short and sweet service in the Moravian Church in Ockbrook followed by a reception in the Royal Oak. An excellent time was had by all. PS For those of you with an obsession for value for money races, it was FREE entry, FREE food and as much FREE beer as you could drink!! (For everyone except Andy that is!)

This week I believe the route is the Erewash canal to the tin bridge and back along the Nottingham Canal. Mike is leading as I am doing the Summer league. Mike is also leading next week as I am away.
