1.Runner, all the SBU runners are worthy but a special little nomination for Jason Ripp. After a tough few months with a gammy leg and some results he wasn’t pleased with he goes on to knock 45 mins off last years already impressive time. That for me is some impressive running.
Member, I’m going for Sally. After probably deserving a good rest post ironman support she’s arranged coaching sessions with EA, sadly I can’t make them but what a great benefit to the club, and if nothing else the ‘balls to the wall’ hashtag made me chuckle!
Matt Simpson

2.Rotm for me his Andrew chatterton he is smashing PBs left right and centre well done Andrew it’s a privilege to have been able to see you smash some of these run’s
Motm – Denise brogden always there on the sidelines come what may with bells, tambourines,first aid kick, job lot especially her favourite vasline lol

ROTM Margaret Perkins. Rocks up at all the races, runs her legs off and usually comes away with PB.s at every race. She is also a fab training buddy and her sweet supply is defo worth this award.
Tracy Davies

9.ROTM – Jason Cook – excellent month of running by doing not only the marathon in Scotland and getting well placed but also the SBU, awesome
MOTM – Tracy Davies – not only coordinating Friday night runs but also doing an amazing job collecting for foodbank
Chris Hardy

10.I can vote for runner(s) of the month n for me it’s got to b the awesome SBU’ers Joanne Bingham

11.ROTM too hard to choose really but I’m voting for John Hannan for his first SBU35 from couch to ultra!!
He is always so positive about running even when he finds it a challenge he embraces it!
MOTM tracy davies for keeping our local families going by collecting for the food bank and ensuring we all get our chester miles in, organising minibuses for us! Nothing is too much trouble for our Trace!

Shell Sears Hardy

12.Runner of the month goes to Jason Cook. Some great performances in Nairn, Scotland and the SBU, Lake District this month. A top runner and a top fella. Always an inspiration to other runners.
Member of the month goes to Joanne McLean. She is always there when it comes to helping out with marshalling etc. Despite her injury, she has never lost her enthusiasm for helping at running events. Good to see her taking part in the parkrun.
Michael Goodliffe

MOTM John Hannah Consistently supporting other members on Sat club runs wile training for and then completing the SBU
Dave Almond

14.Runner of month Maggie Ainslee

Member of the month John Hannan he helps so many runners every Saturday and helped me in the ultra he is a true gent he truly deserves this award.
Shirley Hargreaves

16.I think an awesome special mention has to go to our first time ultra runners Margaret, Lesley, Shirley, Jeff, John, Dave n Matt, who did an awesome job, as we dont give trophies out to everyone.
ROTM for me then goes to Ellie right who keeps popping up with pb’s and placed and who has run virtually every day.
MOTM for me goes to Tracie Davies, for her organisation of the Friday training runs n the superb foodbank arrangements.
Dave Short

17.Rotm Josh crowther
Motm Ged Johnson
Michael Speak

18.Shirley and lesley for their sbu run . Those hills on the pictures with tricky tarragon under foot were something else.
Along with a massive well done to the rest of gang that is an achievement way beyond my dreams , it’s up there with iron man status for me .
19.Member of the month I think should be Margaret Morley for supporting runners in sbu and also planning and supporting the loch Ness gang in their training.
Katie Turner

20.ROTM – Jason Cook for bouncing back from Liverpool with a very strong run and 6th position at the SBU35, especially after drinking the Highlands dry during taper week!
MOTM – Ged Johnson for supporting so many others whilst recovering from his knee ops.
Jeff Whitfield

21.My nominations are Josh ‘Ginger Ninja’ Crowther for runner of the month. It’s not always about who’s the fastest, but he’s just getting better and better.
Member Tracey Davies for her organising of Friday runs, foodbank donations and sorting travel to the wedding of the year .
Graham Jordan

22.Runner of the Month: Josh Crowther. Everything I’ve heard about him this month has impressed me – his winning races, his unbelievable training and his healthy diet. He’s a lovely lad and a great example to us all.
Member of the Month: Carla Jenkinson for her organisation of the netball team. Well done Carla.
Nicola Murphy

23.Bit difficult being off radar but I’ll have a go. ROTM is Jason Ripp for me. Coming back from injury and smashing his PB at the Ultra. We know how hard it is for Jase when he’s injured (not as hard as it is for poor Kate! Ha!) and he came back and is feeling confident again. Great to see him back at his best.
MOTM is Denise Brogden. I’m not sure we realise just how much this lady knows all the runners, supports all the runners and genuinely gets everywhere she can despite her ailments! Making supporting monasteries like bells on sticks and taking photographs. Your support is appreciated Denise.
Sinéad Whittaker

24.MOM Tracy Davies ROM Joshua Crowther.
Martina Rimmer

25.Another month of inspirational running. I feel so lucky to be a part of the crazy gang that is BRR.
As for nominations well there are so many amazing people I would hate to miss anyone.
A special mention has to go to the SBU brigade – I hope to be brave enough to join you one day
So here goes –
MOM – Donna Shannon
This month she has taken on total warrior – Darwen Gala train run and is also a member of the netball team – she is a great all rounder and a credit to the club
ROM – Jason Cook
He just keeps getting stronger ! from half marathon age catagory winner to ultra runner – there is no stopping this guy.

Rowena Falcon Doherty

26. My vote for runner of the month goes to lesley! They all did fantastic doing the ultra but lesley is the one you would not expect to do one and complete .she has been quietly training away for it and deserves some recognition. Member of the month is a hard one but I have to say ged. Even though he has had an injury he has been at most races supporting and encouraging people. Hope this is OK
Phil White

27.ROTM – everyone who did ultra for the first time what an achievement! If I I can’t pick all of them then I will pick Jason Cook for coming 6th!
MOTM – Sally for organising the EA coaching and all the hard work she puts into the club with marketing newsletter etc
Aadila Mulla

28.Runner of the Month – Jason Cook, a month of strong and tough running, the Work that goes into running at this pace can’t be under estimated and a Age Cat win and 6th place is awesome but he could get the award every month ( and did so in May) so I nominate the lady heroes of the SBU Shirley Hargreaves and Lesley Dewhirst.
Member -Sally Heppenstall- the EA nights she organised have been so useful, weekly assistance preparing the newsletter and supporting the netball team
Susan Wolstenholme

29.I’m going to vote for the SBU runners for runner(s) of the month, with an honourable mention to Josh Crowther for his multiple wins and club records broken in August.

57.So I’m really struggling to do the nominations this month because Adam’s dad died 2 weeks ago after a week in hospital and today was the funeral. I’ve missed a few runs and feel out of the loop with what is going on at the mo but Sinead’s post has rightly made me feel I should nominate even if I get it totally wrong.
ROTM – Lesley Dewhirst – its hard to choose from all of the SBU participants but I remember you (Sue) buying the race entry for Lesley for her birthday so the fact she didn’t even enter it herself and completed it is absolutely fantastic – well done Lesley you are just brilliant (so are all of the other SBU runners) xx
MOTM – Janet Weir – loved seeing her run Natters in on the Fleetwood half marathon and helping Nat achieve the sub 2.30 that she wanted. Teamwork and support at its best – well done Natalie and Janet xx
Gina Smith
