A small band of runners from Thames, Stragglers, K&P and Bank of England enjoyed some early spring sunshine on the Common in the inter club 5 race. Using an amended 5 mile course incorporating the water splash from the Varsity Match races, Simon Molden led the field home for Thames, with Vikki Filsell running well to finish first lady. An excellent set of photos from the race are available here courtesy of Stragglers. Full results below.

Six Thames ladies braved the tough course at Roundhay Park on Saturday together with three Thames second claim ladies including Dorchie who was in the Bronze Medal winning team for Bristol & West. The Thames ladies placed 16 (of 61 teams) and first Surrey team, beating Clapham Chasers, Herne Hill, Ranelagh, and others. A fantastic effort.

Robin Dickson will be leading a training session this Saturday on Richmond Park. Meet at the Pembroke Lodge car park from 10am. Runners from any club are welcome.

Thames ladies took bronze medals in the championships, rescheduled from early January. Well done to Herne Hill who regained the men's trophy, with our men finishing in fourth place.

Well done to Andy Howse who took the 7.5mile handicap in some style from Alastair Caisley and Simon Molden. The going was more than heavy after the week's rain, so well done to all who braved the conditions. Results below.

Keep up your New Year's running with a run of around 5 miles from 7.30pm this Wednesday and/or join us for a post run meal and drink at The Telegraph on Putney Heath from 8.45pm.

12 Thames men and 3 Thames ladies braved the mud at Parliament Hill on a bright but cold day. James McMullan was our first man home leading us to 4th place overall. Full results on the SEAA website here.
