16 brave Raven souls thought it would be a good idea to race around the canals today relying on the handicapper to get a close finish. They didn’t figure on Lyndon blitzing the field as he did to finish well ahead of the pack. And Andrew Ferguson didn’t do too bad either. Well done to all the other runners too who kindly stuck to the script…..

Many thanks to Alex, John C and Anna C for their help in marshalling and timekeeping, and Anna for the photo. Hopefully all will be in fine trim for next week’s Assembly League. Next Ravens event is the regular 5k on 24th August. Same time an dplace.

25 May 2017
Another fine day for a 5k handicap race. Well it was if you were watching – warm work. 20 brave souls avoided every obstacle the small park could throw at them. Astrid, in her first Ravens 5K ran her heart out but missed the route slightly so, although finishing first, doesn’t qualify as the winner today. She did however have a storming run that would have made a complete mockery of my handicapping time. Officially first home, and in a great time was David Wilkinson.

As ever, many thanks to the marshals and helpers, without whom the race wouldn’t take part. Special mention to Rob who scouted the small park on his ‘Boris-Bike’ to check the lie of the land.
