Axe Valley Runners Coly Dog run is now a regular event in the club calendar to raise money for Children in Need, with nearly £300 raised this year.

Carol Austin and Diane Newton battled gusts of more than 40 mph at the Brighton 10k. Finishing in 48:42, Carol Austin was 743rd and fourth F60.  She now awaits to see if this is sufficient for an England Masters 10k place to add to the half marathon place secured recently.  Diane Newton was 1978th and tenth F70 in 1:18.57.  

Just along the coast, Matt Clist and Joel Seward also battled the high wind in the Gosport Half Marathon with Matt finishing in an excellent 19th place and first M40 in 1:17.02.  Joel struggled in the final few miles but still finished in 1:24.37, 83rd from the 1200 who competed the 13.1 miles.
