Race Report - 15th December 2025

It is almost the end of the year but the team is determined to go out with a bang with a final flurry of results before the end of the year!

 

Kicking this week’s report of we saw coached athlete Sarah Watson tackle the Leeds Xmas Cracker trail half marathon as she used it as a long run as she prepared for the Tokyo marathon.

 

 Staying with an off road theme fresh from an afternoon in York drinking and dancing the afternoon and night away we saw Portugal attendee Emma Smith enjoy the next round of the PECO cross country league and she put many of the team to shame who were too hungover to even run!

 

The last few 10k road races of the year took place this weekend where the first we report from was the super fast Telford 10k where Sheffield coached athlete Kev Walker showed an excellent return to form with a fast 10k time.

 

 

The ever popular Bolsover 10k also took place on Sunday and the fast slightly down hill start was met with strong headwinds in the second half but we saw some excellent performances from coached athletes Mark Trolley who set a new pb, Matt Taylor ran his faster 10k after 3 races on the bounce, Angela Lally running her fastest time by 10mins on that course and Ann Barker who took the V60 1st place.

 

 

 

The final race to report from was the warmer Malaga marathon where long time supporters of the clinic both Clowne Road Runners in Malc Stapleton and Giles Searby both giving fine performances with Giles running a new lifetime personal best and thus earning this week's “Run of the Week”!

 

 

 

Massive well done to everyone who raced and took time to send in their results.

Until next week……..keep training!
