Antonia Burt made an impressive marathon debut with 3:03:22 to place 22nd in the ladies field.

Hot off the press from Aldershot, yesterday our over 40s ladies team took a fine third place. The men went even better today taking the m40 title in emphatic style. More to follow, results can be found here.

Dave Alcock and Liz Stavreski were fastest over the course on a beautiful late summer day. But congratulations to Jeff Armitage who took home the handicap trophy. The handicapers have some work to do given that this is now the second time Jeff has won a trophy in his 18 years of Thames membership. Just behind Jeff were Kate Symons, Nic Gould and Doug Justins. Results below.

The sun shone and Thames put out five teams today, with medal winning performances from many of the runners. The veteran ladies A team took gold, the senior ladies, senior men and v40 men bronze and the veteran ladies B team placed a non scoring third (as Sonia gamely run twice). James McMullan and Sonia O'Sullivan made light work of the course to take third fastest man and fastest (and second fastest) vet lady respectively. Full results to follow (or take a look at the Belgrave website).

James McMullan ran well in a "brutal" race dominated by the Eritrean team to place 47th overall and 1st for team GB.

Sonia O'Sullivan, winner of this event in 2002 and 2004,and now "running for fun", obviously enjoyed herself and placed 23rd with 17.46. Pippa Major also ran well finishing in just over 20 minutes.

Three Saltires were in action at the Bristol Half Marathon today.
