New Trophy for Muddy Woody 6

January 22, 2012 · Print This Article

As you are all aware Jim Gray sadly passed away last year. Jim’s family have presented Wye Valley Runners with a Cup dedicated to the memory of Jim to be presented at the Muddy Wood 6. There is a picture of Alan Gray presenting the trophy to Les Chamberlain who accepted on behalf of Wye Valley Runners posted on www.flickr.com/photos/wyevalleyrunners

Jim was a keen supporter of the Muddy Woody 6 and for many years marshaled at the 5 mile mark.

At the request of the family they would like the Cup to be awarded on a similar basis to the Alex Moore 10k trophy. The Jim Gray Cup will therefore only be presented to members of Wye Valley Runners and will be rotated every other year between male and female runners. The age categories will vary so that the trophy will over time be presented to a broad selection of club members.

The committe will select the category for receipt of this years award on Monday 6th February.

Wye Valley Runners wish to thank the family of Jim Gray for this Cup which we believe will be a fitting tribute to Jim.

Alan Gray is planning to run the race and will present the trophy to this years winner.
