Welcome to Wargrave Runners

Well done to all Wargrave Runners who ran Henley Half Marathon this year asnd took on the challenge of that enormous hill! Some very creditable times and personal bests I believe. Their results are below. Next challenge the cross country series????  

Put this date in your diary now, a great opportunity for a club social get together and to present the profits of our 10k Road Race.  Full details will follow by email. Or see our News Update page.

On Sunday afternoon we held our Autumn Mile on the Grass and were delighted with the enthusiasm shown, particularly by our younger runners. Also some very competitive spirit from the seniors. The running was followed by tea and cakes in the very smart new Cricket pavilion. Thanks you to everyone who made cakes, or marshalled on the day and also to our runners for taking part.

I am delighted to report that we had a most enjoyable run on Friday night with a number of notable highlights in our diverse and select field of runners. Most notably Doris Eggett was our First Lady home (on handicap) and completed the course, on her birthday, in 14:46. This was a great achievement for a wonderful lady now well into her 9th decade. Well done Doris. Flowers were presented on the finish line with our very best wishes. At the other end of the scale Spike at just 20 months completed the course in 24:21 and collected a few Dandelions on the way! From such as start we will await great achievements in a few years time. Some wonderful running across the whole spectrum and well done to Chris Belton for sprinting home in 5:39 making him our fastest runner on the night.  Full results are on the News Update page, please log in or use the link I sent you.

Many congratulations to our runners pounding down the tow path at this year's Down Tow Up Flow half marathon.... Some very quick times and creditable performances expecially on such a hot day!
