Congratulation to Sian and Tony Champken for completing the Reykjavik Half Marathon in 2.07.
Sian tells us" It was lots of fun, but strange finishing at midnight in the sunshine. The bottom picture was taken at midnight!
Both are back in the UK chomping at the bit for the next Cross Country race
All aboard for the next race in the Herefordshire Summer Cross Country League. Wednesday 9th July 7.15 pm at Westhope. All welcome - a lovely 5 (ish) one circuit route courtesy of Hereford Couriers. Meet at 6 in Rowing Club Car Park to share lifts. Details on the quaint map below!
The race incorporating the County Championships provides a rare opportunity to race over the classic 10 mile distance. Tot glasses will once again be awarded to all finishers with new 2014 apple logo. Age category prizes sponsored by High Town Taxis. Tom Pugsley memorial trophies will be awarded to male and female winners in the U-21 category.
All race details are posted in the events section of the Wye Valley Runners web-site.
Gord's 6 2014 will be run on a Sunday morning rather that Saturday evening. The race venue was switched to Fownhope last year and this is undoubtedy one of the most scenic courses in the country taking in meadows, riverbank and woodland trails around Caplor Hill Fort. The usual glorious selection of tea and tasty cakes will be available at the finish. All the money raised goes to local charities, this year Marches Family Network.
Entry forms and on-line entrycentral links are available on the club web site.
A few tweaks to correct Robert William's and Sian Champken's rankings...

8 races down and a new womens lead .Lauras consistent form pays off. Steve continues to lead the mens rankings. But with 34 Wye Valley vests at the Abbeydore XC new faces are beginning to show their strength. Click on the Super 8 image for latest results. We have left the best 8 races table in for interest - but this year the winner is the one with the highest cumulative score - so every race counts.
Next up Kinnersley Cross Country
These trophies will be awarded to the first male and female under-21 finishers to complete the Breinton 10 Mile Road Race .Tom had a cheerful and energetic outlook on life and was passionate about surfing, cycling, running and other outdoor activities. Tom was particularly keen for young people to participate in sport and these ‘wave shaped’ hand carved trophies kindly donated by Tom’s Parents and School celebrate Tom’s love of surfing and other sporting activities..
Runners in the age range 17 to 20 years are eligible to compete for these trophies. Under UKA rules parental consent needs to be obtained for runners who will be aged 17 years on the day of the race
I was able to hand out most of the county championship medals before my accident but still have a few left. I am still wheelchair bound so cannot attend club nights but will pass to Les or Bousty to take to the Abbeydore XC. Medals: Chrisie Jones: Gold Snr Womens Team, Steve Flower Silver Snr Men's Team, Jeremy Jehan Gold Veteran Men's Team, Jimmy Richards 2 Golds Individual Vet Mens & 1st Vet Men's Team.

With six races down and seven to go Steven and Jan continue to lead their respective ranking tables . However, consistency is still the name of the game and in form Dan and Laura continue to breathe down the necks of the current leaders. Remember you need to race 8 out of the 13 races for your score to qualify at the end of the season after the Breinton 10
Next up the Magic Roundabout on Sunday 1st June quickly followed by the Abbeydore Cross Country on 4th June.
