ROTM: Harry Catherall for his recent Tour of Tameside, where he ran magnificently in a series of some rather challenging courses. Many congratulations to him for winning the 1st spot in his age category, and for his brilliant overall position. Superb performance and he seems a really good guy as well.
MOTM: Matt Simpson for his role as Race Coordinator for the BRR Witton Trail Relay Teams. I was lucky enough to watch all of the BRR relay runners fly through the finish line at Witton Park (27/6) and it was tremendous to see in our home town. Well done to everyone who took part, particularly to Matt, who not only ran brilliantly himself, but for his organisation role. He made it look seamless and managed a team to be proud of. Special mention to Ashley Weir and John Clucas as well for their key roles and for keeping us all informed.

I would like to nominate Harry Catherall for ROM. He has been running road and trail races and recently ‘smashed’ the Tour of Tameside Event. 5 out of 6 of his events in June have all been over 70% AG with his highest being 77.16% for a 20:02 5K! Outstanding! I’m sure when the BRR Championship figures are done again he will be challenging for top spot. Fantastic running Harry! Also have to mention Chris Almond, your recent 5k and parkruns have been inspirational, keep up the good work.

My nominations for June are;
ROTM: Joanne Weir- for being a ‘Mrs Motivated’ partner at Bradford. Once she knew we had a 12 minute head start on the mass start (thanks to Trevor and Jeff’s speedy Leg 1 run) we were off!! It was non stop….we were definitely on a mission! She was an absolute star! And we got a PB by over 4 and a half minutes.
MOTM: Mick Msm Wignall- for being an amazing team minibus chauffer for the Bradford relay teams (especially when he was actually hoping to run it). Special mention also to Ashley Weir for his fab organisation once again.

For Runner, I’d like to nominate Karen Rishton, she had a really good speedy month, picking up PBs and generally being a good representative for the club.
For Member, I’d like to nominate Mick Wignall, I know he would have preferred to run the BMW Relay, but volunteering to expertly transport our runners to their start points, giving up his own day, was brilliant. Thank you Mick

Ashley Weir

Tough one but Harry Catherall has had a cracking month winning age cat and I think a lit more wins to come from Harry.
MOTM – Another tough one because a lot of deserving people Ashley for organising Bradford Matt for organising relay but my nomination is Hayls runner for travelling far and wide for parkruns along with Gary Blackburn the only reason I haven’t nominated Gary because he’s had it before but hats of to you both tremendous achivement

Tracy Slater

Rotm for me is Gary Blackburn again, going wherever it takes to get a parkrun letter and consistently getting faster. Being at our marathon do on Friday night and running in London at 9am Saturday, the guys a nutter 😂
Mom is hard, there’s so many people doing some amazing work. I’ll nominate Ashley though for organising Bradford, but any one of a dozen people could easy be as worthy.

I would like to nominate Mick Wignall for MOTH for giving up a long full day driving us all safety to the starting points at Bradford. This was a godsend and took away a lot of stress for everyone. Special mention to Ashley for seamless organisation of the day and reccies despite having the run from hell on one date x
And thanks to Matt for sorting the Witton Relay which he dones brilliantly.
I would like to nominate Karen Corram For ROTH for not being scared to go for something completely out of her comfort zone. We are blessed to have a great diversity of runners at BRR and have some fast elites who fly up the trails like mountain goats. Karen conquered this leg, it was tough but she wasn’t phased at all and finished after swearing with a smile on her face.
Special mention to Gemma McCauley for doing both the tough trails this month, another determined lady who will put herself forward for anything.

Nominations for June
MOM I know she probably won’t accept it but Susan Wolstenholme. The Summer Marathon Celebration was pretty much down to her from the initial idea to the organisation. I’m sure she’ll point to the help she had but it was a great party and much fun was had!
ROM So many to pick from this month. I think Karen Rushton, John Crellin, George Bell, Kate Pomfret, Gail Bamber and Gemma McAuley all deserve great praise but I’d like to nominate Donna Mazur who has been rewarded for all her work doing the hard training miles with lots of PBs and super performances this
month.
