BMAF members were entertained with a nourishing bap and jelly when they finished what can only be described as a unique 10 Mile Road Race. Tynedale Harriers had attracted a healthy list of open entry runners and over 70 BMAF members to compete over an undulating, scenic, rural and near traffic free course. When the day was over we once again showed that accommodating BMAF members increases the quality of the field and the final results.
It would be unfair to highlight any particular individual in this race. However, a number of members had competed two weeks ago at Leek and will continue to compete in BMAF races in forthcoming weeks.ie the 10 K in Exmouth and the Marathon both in October.
I am in the process of planning for 2012 and I hope you will find time to download a very short questionnaire which will also appear in the forthcoming edition of Masters Athletics. Please e-mail it directly back to me at walterhelen@hotmail.co.uk. I will always aim to distribute Championship Races across Great Britain and seek out those races which allow us an opportunity to celebrate members’ achievement at a price which is realistic to all parties.
