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”

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 #1 – Fleming Park
A new RR10 season kicked off at Fleming Park. Clearly there was early enthusiasm with a huge turnout of runners from all Clubs attending. The total number of runners competing turned out to be a whopping 534, I certainly don’t remember a race having more than 500 recently. Even better was a great turnout fromContinue reading “RR10 2025 #1 – Fleming Park”
Winchester 10K 2025
It is always a nice experience to be able to walk, from home, to the start line of a race and the Winchester 10K certainly fulfils that criteria. It is always a well attended event (due to Winchester’s high number of running clubs?) and had sold out with 1300 runners taking part. As a teamContinue reading “Winchester 10K 2025”
CC6 race 5, Itchen Valley Country Park 24/25
Race 4 of this year’s had fallen foul of December’s storm Darragh, was cancelled and so we moved on to the first of two races at Itchen Valley. I felt slightly disorganised leading up to the race, we had a number of absentees through injury, illness and other events taking place on the same day.Continue reading “CC6 race 5, Itchen Valley Country Park 24/25”
Clarendon Marathon 2024 Relay
One of the club’s goals for 2023/24 was to enter a team in a relay, something the club did, historically, on a regular basis. With our numbers we felt that the South Downs relay was a little ambitious so we decided to start locally with the Clarendon Marathon. The Clarendon has been going for 26Continue reading “Clarendon Marathon 2024 Relay”
