Owing to the forecast of severe heat and the RED heat warning, we have taken the decision to cancel the official run on Tuesday 19th July.
If people still wish to run then that will be entirely your decision and risk but if so please stay safe. If people do choose to run, we would suggest running with other people – please use the WhatsApp group to check with any fellow runners.
Club Run will be back on Thursday
Massive congratulations to the 175 runners who completed all 22 (and a bit) km of the 3 Lakes Classic today. Runners, marshals and spectators alike were thrilled to see it back on the racing calendar after a two year hiatus due to COVID19. We were lucky to miss the very hot weather of the previous few days, but conditions were still warm and distinctly muggy -well done!
The results are now available on our website here.
The overall winner of this years race was Tom Shaw of Worksop Harriers, storming home in a very impressive 1:21:27, a new course record by over 5minutes! (this being the NEW course from 2019, taking in Waverley rather than Ulley)
First home for the women was Collette Gains of Dronfield RC who smashed it with a time of 1:40:19.
Well done to our other prize winners; 2nd Male Daniel Smith (Team Manvers), 3rd Male David Byrne (Steel City Striders), 1st Male over 50 Christian Hopkins (Handsworth Roadhogs), 2nd Female Caroline Lloyd (Hillsborough and Rivelin), 3rd Female Tara Spillings (Hillsborough and Rivelin) and 1st Female over 50 Joanne Rooney (Kimberworth Striders).
The committee would like to thank all the hard working Kestrels who turned out to help ensure the event ran smoothly and safely. We are confidently told we have the most enthusiastic and encouraging marshals around. We also have the best cake 😁
Special thanks to the 3 Lakes Sub-committee and in particular our 3 Lakes leader Rachel Cadey for all their hard work leading up to the event. It takes a lot of admin, perseverance and numerous spreadsheets to organise an event like this – your efforts are greatly appreciated!
You may have noticed a few photographers on the course, we will make any photos we have available over the coming days via our facebook page. If you are a regular at local races you will no doubt recognise Steve “Mozzie” Frith who was also in attendance and was kind enough to offer his photographic skills to our event. He asks nothing for his efforts but if you find he has captured you at your best during our race, consider donating to his chosen charity Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England. You can make a donation here.
Already looking for your next challenge? Check out this local race organised by Bassetlaw Triathlon Club, at the moment they don’t have enough entries to make the race viable so if you have ever considered trying your hand at a triathlon, consider this a sign. It’s a “sprint triathlon” so perfect for first timers.
Thanks once again to everyone; runners, marshals, supporters and sponsors (Key2Go). See you all next year!
Hi Folks,
With the bumper bank holiday weekend we expect many people may take advantage of the opportunity to run during the day, or will be too busy drinking to the Queens “platty joobs” to make it to club.
Consequently there will be no official club run on Thursday 2nd June. All will return back to normal on Tuesday 7th with a lap of Eckington Woods.
See you there
