1.My nominations are christine Warrington for runner of the month, she pulled an amazing race outta the bag at elswick and also ran Wednesday in Lancaster with nat and Andrew

Mom for me has to be big trev , he was amazing at IM ensuring all water stations were kept filled up and volunteers were happy .

He went way above and beyond keeping the toilets clean even after 1 lady had proper left it a mess ( she was a mess when she went in mind , i swilled her down with buckets so she could be on her way ) .
He didnt just throw water at them he actually wiped round with disinfectant athletes were commenting how clean they were .

3.Rotm – difficult one this because of all the amazing achievements but I’m nominating Liam Hindle. I’ve chosen Liam because I have seen the determination he had whilst I talked him too death on the gym bikes. His training regime what out of this world and I admire anyone who completes such a challenge.

I would like to give a mention to Ben, Mark and Jimmy for their Ironmen achievements.

MOTM – Sally Heppenstall. The support this lady gives to her family is amazing. She is also so caring for other runners when they are injured. Her dedication of supporting role doesn’t go unnoticed. She is also a truly genuine, kindhearted person/runner. How many hours must she spend being a supporter. She is amazing. She believes in others and you can just feel that from her.

4.ROTM – Liam Hindle
Absolutely smashing his first Ironman, he has inspired and ‘wowed’ so many members. All of the training and efforts that he put into the event beforehand, showed his passion and determination to achieve well. Then, just having us all in awe on the day. Massive respect.

MOTM – Kathryn Gardner
Organising the Club Handicap event was obviously no easy task, but she managed to do so with a very positive outcome. Seeing the work that went into it and all of the pictures and results, it was such a highly successful event and one that Kathryn absolutely ‘nailed.’ I was gutted to not be a part of it!

Massive kudos also to Gary for completion of his parkrun Alphabet Challenge, Chris Almond for all of his recent PBs and also Graham Jordan for organising the Scafell Pike climb.
