It’s been a busy year for Wessex runners with multiple races and events around the country. We had a healthy turnout in the RR10 league this year, with Andrew S achieving best male performance and Imy the best female one. Will was close on Andrew’s heels although constrained by exam commitments in a way thatContinue reading “Wessex Road Runners; 2025 review report”

CC6 2025/26 #4 – Holmsley Campsite
The last race of the year was deep in the New Forest, almost into the neighbouring county of Dorset. The weather was splendid – sunny, cool and a brisk breeze. A few days of no rain had left the course manageable, although there was plenty of standing water to either a) run through (the correctContinue reading “CC6 2025/26 #4 – Holmsley Campsite”
AGM review
The AGM was held on Thursday 13th November with a good turnout of Wessex runners both new and old. We have formally adopted the new Constitution (to be uploaded to the website), financially we are stable (subscription fees to stay the same) and we have plenty of kit for new members. David’s Chair report gaveContinue reading “AGM review”
Gosport Half Marathon 16/11/2025
David H “Given a shoulder injury, I was just pleased to make it round the two lap course. Delighted that I was eighth in my age category (VM 70-74)…. until I saw there were only nine of us! Certainly recommend the event.”
CC6 2025/26 #3 – Roundhill
The third CC6 race of the season was on Sunday 9th November at Roundhill in the New Forest, organised by Romsey Road Runners and Southampton Tri Club. Lots of members clearly have other commitments at this time of year so there was a low turnout from Wessex, although we still had enough runners for aContinue reading “CC6 2025/26 #3 – Roundhill”
CC6 2025/26 #2 – Ocknell
The first visit to the New Forest for this year’s CC6 and surprisingly good weather and fairly dry underfoot. Richard was there to support with the club flag raised but only a small turnout of Wessex runners. Peter led the way finishing 58th with Daniel running out of steam on the hilly course (108). KatieContinue reading “CC6 2025/26 #2 – Ocknell”
CC6 2025/26 #1 – River Hamble
Our scheduled race to help organise for this year’s CC6. Timing was not ideal with a large number of races taking part on the same day, meaning the helper numbers were a little low. Richard, Andrew S, Katie and Daniel however turned up for race marshalling and car parking duties. All went well and theirContinue reading “CC6 2025/26 #1 – River Hamble”
RR10 2025 #10 – IBM Hursley
The final RR10 of 2025 was, as usual, at IBM Hursley. A party atmosphere was present with some other teams having slabs of beer (noted for next year) for post race celebrations. A good turnout by all teams, with all flags / tents concentrated in a small area by the start. An excellent turnout fromContinue reading “RR10 2025 #10 – IBM Hursley”
RR10 2025 #8 – Wide Lane
Race number eight of the season and my favourite race – easy to get to and flat, really flat, with the only ‘hill’ being the up slope after we run through a short underpass. Some say it is a little dull but there were plenty of distractions with other sports on the adjacent pitches –Continue reading “RR10 2025 #8 – Wide Lane”
RR10 2025 #7 Itchen Valley
A return to Itchen Valley Country park for race number 7, expertly hosted this time round by Hedge End and Netley Abbey Runners. As is becoming rather a theme this year, another hot, dry evening! The event started on a sombre note, with a minute’s silence in memory of Claire Browne – a leading lightContinue reading “RR10 2025 #7 Itchen Valley”
