Competitions Update July 2026

Congratulations to all of our members who raced in the first two club championship races of the year and thank you to the volunteers that made the handicap event happen. 

In the club championship Handicap race, the Male and overall winner was Martin Maloney with overall runner up and women’s winner being Emma Danks. The Age Graded award went to Nicholas Browne. Full results here.

The club championship 5K race was held in conjunction with the Sri Chinmoy 5K event in Battersea park on a very hot evening. The Female winner was Natasha Sheel in 19:04, and the Male winner was Fred Smithers who took the overall race win in 15:34. The Age Graded winner was Nicholas Browne in 16:17 for a AG% of 84.6%.
