6.Runner of the Month – this month its been tough to choose, our ironmen were incredible however I can’t bring myself to choose one as they all were amazing. So for me it has to be Andrew Chatterton for coming first in handicap. it was a shame he didn’t qualify for the trophy and also let’s not forget his PB at Lancaster, he is on fire right now!
MOTM – Kathryn Ashcroft Gardner – for organising handicap and keeping the clubs financial affairs in order, both are time consuming jobs and she does a brilliant job!

This is a tricky one doing an iron man is one of the most grulling events so I would like to nominate the 3 iron man finishers this year but feel only far that we also had last year’s finishers who missed out on any awards to be also recognised
Tracey Slater

15.Runner of the month – Ellie Wright. What a little superstar runner she is and a real ambassador for the Club; her running is absolutely brilliant.
Member of the month – Aadila Mulla and Jonathan Mallinson – for their organisation of the Ironman marshalling which isn’t strictly running club so they didn’t have to do it, but is so absolutely key to being a BRR member now – it’s become such an iconic event for us in July.
Margaret Morley

16.This months runner of the month is tough. Real tough. However, I’d like to nominate all 3 ‘Ironmen’ for running 26 miles after their mega swim and cycle challenges Craig, Margaret Jimmy. They were out there making us proud be Blackburn Road Runners and are truly inspirational Just don’t know if its allowed???
And for member of the month, Jonathan Mallinson for his care and co – ordination of all the marshals at the Ironman event. He checked we all had food and drinks and were stationed with clear instructions!

20.My votes for the month.
MOTM – Richard Slater – He could easily get ROTM for his 220 miles but I think personally what he did for me at Fort William should be recognised as he was truly a legend to stay with me for over 5 hours in the pouring rain to make sure I finished the run and kept the challenge on track
ROTM – simply has to be the 3 Ironmen. Jimmy, Margaret and Craig. No more description required
Michael Lilley

21.Noms for ROM is all 3 who completed the Ironman
Margaret, Craig and Jimmy. Just unbelievable performance from all 3, who smashed their training from day one and on the day itself, they never stopped smiling from start to finish.
MOM, hope this is OK… It’s Andrew Boardman. His inspiration throughout the club continues and there are many more races and performances from members to come yet, that will emulate Andrews determination to succeed x
Jeanette Hickey

22.ROTM – It’s got to be all 3 iron man finishers for me, I can’t choose one of them! Jimmy, Margaret and Craig are just awesome athletes. It’s an amazing achievement and they all did brilliantly. A massive well done them.

32.ROTM- Margaret Morley for an epic journey and result on the Ironman UK securing a time anyone male or female would be proud of, to finish with a smile, give a tremendous speech at the party, organise the 2 men in their goal with spreadsheets and look absolutely amazing off the back of it, my hero
Member of the Month – Aadila Mulla and Jonathan Mallinson jointly who quietly went about organising and executing over 80 marshals at the Ironman, attending cancelled meetings, picking up t shirts, answering messages at all times of day and liasing with organisers. Result was precision on the day thanks to them. They don’t do it for any appreciation but for the good of the club
Susan Wolstenholme

ROTM for me has to be emm Wright, she’s been running really well lately, smashed pb after pb at all different distances and is also running further and further every week.

41.ROTM & MOTM
Apologies for lateness of this month’s nominations!
I’m not sure who to vote for this month! Whilst the magnificent efforts of our three Ironman finishers should rightly receive many plaudits, I’m not going to single any of the three out! For me ROTM is all about the running so my nomination this month is going to Ellie Wright (again!), this lady continues ploughing on month after month, picking up top three race finishes but has still to actually receive a ROTM award! There always seems to be something preventing her from winning, so I think this month she can’t continue to be overlooked!
For MOTM, I would nominate you Sue, in addition to many other things, for the tremendous effort collating the weekly newsletter, but I know she won’t accept it so I’m going to nominate Sally Heppenstall, who’s stepped up to assist with putting together the newsletter and taking some welcome pressure off Ashley on Thursday nights over the last few weeks! All whilst marathon training too.

42.Member- Jonathan for organising ironman and ensuring everything went smoothly on the day .
Runner -John clucas for his park runs and keeping us guessing with his location every week .
Amanda Dean

43.ROTM
Jimmy the superman hindle. Would’ve like to have voted for all 3 of the Iron man contenders.
