We took a coach of Striders, friends & family to Burnsall, near Grassington to take part in the 10 mile road race & the famous 1.6 mile fell race.
The event known as Burnsall Feast Sports was an event chosen by two of our club runners who were celebrating their wedding the day before.
Carolyn & Chris Hopkinson decided it would be a great way for their family & friends to join in the fun & celebrate all at the same time.
The wedding theme continued on the race day with the traditional something old - the Fell Race, something new - just married, something borrowed - Carolyn's socks (she forgot her's) and something blue, our running kit is blue and white.
A few Striders were nursing slight hangovers after the wedding reception the night before but didn't stop them running in one or two of the races the next day.

A couple of things to report this week, firstly.
a big well done to both John Thornton and Roger Booth with support team of Brian and Pam Budd on completion of the coast to coast run last week. Planned with meticulous precision everything seemed to go to plan except the weather.
Really nice to see the photos with both Roger and John proudly wearing their Striders tops.
You can do your bit now by either paying up your sponsorship money ASAP or if you have not already sponsored them, put that right next time you see them,
Secondly,
we wish Lizzie Hill all the very best in her 14 week training for the army. Lizzie has been keen to join the army for quite somewhile and at last it's come true. We shall miss her big time as she has been a valued member of the club for a few years now and has progressed tremendously. We are sure she will do really well in her new venture.
We look forward to seeing her anytime she returns home.

A big well done to Dave Nunn who took on his own challenge, to run to Liverpool. Now most people want to run away from Liverpool but not Dave. All necessary equipment for the trip was in his haversack.
The weather wasn't the kindess being probably the hottest period in the year but this still didn't deter Dave.
Unfortunately Dave ONLY managed 70 of the 90 miles because really bad blistering took it's toll.
Well pleased with his effort Dave has vowed to try again because as he says, there is unfinished business.

HANDICAP COMPETITION - ALL TO PLAY FOR AT THE HALFWAY STAGE
After three events the 2 and 4 mile handicap competitions are both closely fought with at least 6 runners in contention in each competition. Chris Turley leads the 2 mile from Tracey Craddock and Steve Oliver and Caroline Sutton narrowly leads the 4 mile from Ian Bell and Lizzie Hill. However, this could easily change after the Darley Park event on 22 July. As the competition is based on the best 5 results from 6 events the outcome is currently too close to call at this stage. There have been 24 competitors taking part in each event so far. We have had three very different events starting with the flat out-and-back race from the clubhouse at Shelton Lock. This was followed by the tough Ingleby run at which, thankfully, only 1 competitor went wrong and we didn't have to send search parties out for anyone this year! The most recent event was a new venue at Poppy Wood, a National Forest planting site. The start and finish took place from St Brides Farmhouse. The owner, Paul Spencer and family kindly provided car parking and after-race refreshments. This was a most enjoyable change of scenery on a hot summer's evening for which there was an excellent turnout. With all to play for I anticipate the remaining events at Darley Park (22nd July), Weston (4th August) and Ockbrook (10th Sept) will be hotly contested. My thanks go particularly to Brian and Pam Budd for their excellent timekeeping and registration, Dave Turley, Dave Nunn and Paul Webster for their assistance as marshalls and marker collectors. I hope those who have taken part have enjoyed the runs and would appreciate your feedback on the competition this year. I would welcome any suggestions for new routes or any other changes you would like to see for the future.Allan Barber
Saturday 18th July is the night we have our 25th Anniversary Party at the Sinfin Social Club .
All New and Past members are very welcome to come along and join in the celebration.
Tickets are £5 for adults and £3 for children which includes buffet, disco and live music. Come on down!!!!!
If you could let any of the committee know that you intend coming then you can pay at the door on the night.
You will find our contact numbers in the Menu on the home page.

We would love to see you.
7th July Full Sun Race Route
The Full Sun route will be back to Milford again this year, the only difference will be the start and finish points have changed to Well Lane. We will be doing a reqi run of the route on the day after the 25th Anniversary evening. The reqi run will be a social event to check the route is still safe, and clean the cobwebs out from the night before, so anyone interested is welcome, talk to Carolyn or Chris for more info.

Sunday 10th May
The Long and Short Brooksie Bash races had 17 runners on a warm sunny day, there were a few regular faces missing due to clashes with other events, but on the day Steve Hawkins went for broke, and smashed the long course record by 3 minutes to record a 1:39:09 some 12 minutes clear of John Thornton in 1:51;29, Simon Durston-Smith took 10mins off his best to record 1:53:29, and Lizzie Hill doing her first long event was just 35 seconds outside the hour, followed in by Dave Thornton just a second later.
The Short event was won by Derek Hobbs in 59:25 Alan Barber followed in at 1:07:39, with Cathy Clifford the first lady in 1:16:47, other finishers were, Chris Sexton 1:16:45, Dave Keegan 1:16:48, Tracy Hepburn 1:17:13, Pascal Holden 1:17:18, Carolyn Lee 1:17:20, Paul Webster 1:35:10, with Simon Moore running as a guest in 1:17:15.

Monday 4th May
There were 7 Striders at the 13.5 mile Woodhouse May Day Challenge. First man home for both Striders and the event was Sean Cooper in a time of 1:29:12 setting the course record up for next year, Sean was about a minute clear of the chasing bunch. The damp and drizzly day did not deter about 150+ runners trying the new course out, this well organised race looks like being an annular event.
The Strider results were as follows.
Sean Cooper 1:29:12; Caroline Sutton 1:49:40; Dave Keegan 1:51:25; Carolyn Lee 2:00:57; Pascal Holden 2:07:35; Chris Hopkinson 2:07:45; Sandra Butcher 2:07:50.
Monday 27th April
For information, we have done a reqi of the route of the Headbanger May Day Challenge on the 2nd May, it has quite a lot of hard surface/road in it, so fell shoes are NOT advisable, trail would be better, it would be possible to do this route in road shoes, but I will leave that to individuals to choose. The route uses part of the Charnwood Hills Race route, but there is nothing like as much climbing, there is possibly less climbing than the Brooksie Bash Long route, allow time for parking as it could get congested.
Sunday 26th April
Well done to all the Striders who took part in today's London Marathon.
First in for the club was Steve Hawkins in a impressive time of 2.53.03.
