1. Andrew Gardner – perfectly pacing Chester Marathon and supporting Gary Blackburn on first pacing role. Then selflessly getting stuck in to help at the baggage drop when it was clear that people were tried, getting cold and stressed out waiting in the HUGE queue.
Andrea Sturgess

2. ROTM Andrew Gardner. His pictures from his recent marathon show a true reflection of what it’s all about. It shows that even the greatest runners, whilst they make it sometimes looks effortless, have the pain and hit the wall just like we all do. It’s these kind of runners that show others there is not difference between speed/slower. Andrew for me this month has shown true inspiration. He just gets out there and cracks on. Can you have a rest now Andrew.

Motm Karen Rishton. What Karen did for Anthony at the Wiggle Half shows true team spirit. She could have easily got the time she desired but sacrificed that for a fellow runner…. Karen’s first half too… It has been so lovely to train with Karen. I knew she was a kind hearted person from the minute we met and I was right. Here’s to you Karen. You’ll get your time.
Tracy Davies

3. I nominate Karen Rishton for Runner of the month. Such a kind and lovely person and good runner too.

6. Oh wow, what a difficult month to be choosing just one person for each category! Everyone has been doing amazingly throughout October and so serious kudos to all.

ROTM
For me, this has to be Matt Lynch. He shows constant improvements in all distances and has broken yet another time barrier (as has Fiona – such a difficult choice, as she has done amazingly too).

MOTM
For me, this has to be Rick Wilson. What Rick does is amazing and so many people benefit from all of these wonderful things. So many of us were able to enjoy a day out, running/jogging/walking further than we could ever have imagined during the recnt Woodland Warrior event.

Serious shout outs to all marathon runners this month, especially those who have done numerous ones!

Shout out to everyone who has ran and supported this month. What a great month for BRR!

Hayley Duckworth 😊

Runner of the month: Really tough one this month…… Jason’s amazing marathon pacing and being a guide, Karen Rishton’s fabulous running and selfless help given to BRR at the Manchester Half. However going to go with John Crellin’s 57k ultra in Edinburgh, what a huge distance and proper wow factor.

Tracy Slater

11. I would like to nominate Andrew Gardner. He must be a contender for runner of the month but I am nominating for member based upon his brilliant support for the organisers at Chester in returning stored bags etc. The never ending queue of runners with aching limbs getting more and more frustrated and so Andy sprung into action supporting the organisers, having already paced the run he did BRR proud in getting stuck in with a friendly smile retrieving bags etc.
Harry Catherall

12. Karen Rishton member. – selfless run where she abandoned her own race to aid another Road Runner At the Manchester Half, she singlehandedly demonstrated what makes our club so great

15. Runner of the month – Alex Frankish due to his performance at Manchester Half

Member of the month – Karen Rishton who unselfishly forfeited her own race at Manchester Half to support a fellow BRR to cross the finishing line. Karen’s actions reflected not only her own strength of character but also represented to me what it means to be a BRR member.

Warm regards

27. My member of the month is Phil White. He gave up his time to train us dublin marathoners, taking us under his wing, planning routes and giving advice. Also for what he did for Andew, whilst he was injured. A true gentleman.
My runner of month is Stuart Eddleston for running his first marathon after coming back from injury. He put all into training runs, even going out after a night shift and continued running in the marathon eventhough he wasn’t feeling 100% .

Jen Allen

29. It’s been an epic month during October, some real inspirations. We’ve seen pure grit and determination from our members, Rowena’s Yorkshire Marathon, Jason’s assistance of Charlotte during the course, Michael’s Tour if Normandy Challenge, Jen’s Dublin Nightmare, John Crellin’s Edinburgh Ultra but the ROTM has to go to Andrew Gardner for his Atlantic City Marathon finish. You can plan, train for any event but anything can happen on the day and his determination to finished in pain showed on his slumped finishing photo. Never give up guys, Andrews moto.

It’s much easier to run 26.2 miles with your wing men around you. Well done to Tstuart and a big hand to Karen and Dave for giving him a helping hand. The MOTH can only go to Phil White who although not at his fittest at the moment, pending operation was determined to keep the memory of Andrew Boardman alive by completing the Snowdon Marathon. Phil being the person who he is also selflessly supported another runner along the way. You’re a true gent Phil, we salute you.

Linzi Dearden

30. Runner of the Month: Phil White for overcoming health issues and running yet another marathon, this time in memory of Andrew Boardman.
