Cotswold Way Relay Report (Sat 6^th July 2024)

Generally, when it comes to the Cotswold Way Relay you think of beautiful sun-drenched sandstone paths and how you are going to keep cool and stay suitably hydrated on each of the stages that vary in distance from around 9 miles up to 12 miles, and with most involving a minimum of 1,000ft of ascent.

This year however, didn’t follow the party line, and with Ben Foss and Ollie Brown setting off with the larks at 7am the advice quickly followed to keep your jackets on as it was really cold, and pretty slick under foot. The rain didn’t relent throughout the morning with Charlotte Havard-Smith having to put up with a cold, wet and miserable (her own words) Jo Plumbley on Stage 2, and then Nathan Darkin and Ali Vaz setting off in the mist on Stage 3. The sun did however, finally make an appearance on Stage 4 where Laura Orna and Sarah Newnes navigated the re-routed leg around the Air Balloon roundabout, however the rain was never far away and continued to keep runners in check with James Marshall and Paul Thomas on Stage 5, where Paul accomplished his “King of the Cotswolds” accolade for having run all 10 stages over the years.

Nick Williams and Chris Foley started in the rain by running past Liam Gallagher’s new million pound ‘bolthole’ on Selsey Common, before Kev Cundy and Sarah Blakey encouraged the sun to stay out for a little longer on Stage 7, where Thornbury RC’s newest cheerleader was out in support. Hannah Hamilton and Mel Wilson tussled their way through Stage 8 in what seemed to be glorious sunshine finishing within only a matter of minutes of each other, before the baton was handed over to George Evans and Danny Bonnet who equally kept a close eye on each other on Stage 9, finishing even closer together with only 37 seconds separating them at the finish. This left Phil Blackburn and Adrian Wombwell to carry each of the teams home on Stage 10 to a grandstand finish at Bath Abbey, swiftly followed by a pint of the amber nectar to cheer on England.

Some notable performances to mention include the three stage records that fell on Stages 4, 5 and 10 run by Laura Orna, Nick Williams and Phil Blackburn respectively, and also to all of those members who participated for the first time.

Huge thanks go to Nathan Darkin and Lizzie Williams for getting, and keeping, everybody organised over the last few months with various drop outs along the way, and also we couldn’t get through a report on the Cotswold Way Relay without mentioning Judy Mills who couldn’t stay away and kept the photographs coming in, and our runners going, on Stages 4, 7 and 8 (and probably many more…!).

Finally, a special mention also goes out to Jim Williams (and family!) for taking up the club’s marshalling place, and ensuring that all of those running Stage 10 managed to safely cross the A46 north of Bath en route to the finish.

Provisional times for each leg are shown above (new stage records for Legs 4,6 & 10  highlighted):

On behalf of Race Director Colette Jackson thanks to all the 60+ Members who Marshalled and helped in various capacities last Thursday.

Club Championship 10k 13^th June – Report by Captain Nick W

It was a cold, wet and windy summer(!) evening last Thursday for the annual TRC club championships over the course of the Thornbury 10k. There were some notable absentees, most likely due to the dire forecast that many had predicted earlier in the day, however 29 intrepid runners turned up to brave the elements and prepare for battle against their fellow club members, and themselves, for bragging rights for the next 12 months. Despite the earlier rain, the weather held out for the duration of the event with some great times posted, even with the hills apparently feeling more ‘hillier’ than normal. In the ladies field, Jo Plumbley came home in first position, whereas in the men’s field, Ben Bohane topped the podium to claim the accolade of club champion for 2024. Congratulations to everyone who took part, and thank you to Thornbury Sailing Club for providing the post race warmth and comfort of their clubhouse, together with liquid refreshments and cake. Special thanks go to all of the volunteers who gave up their own opportunity to take part to ensure that everybody got round the course without getting lost, and to prevent too many overzealous drivers on Foss Lane from becoming too hazardous. Photos and times can be found on the TRC Facebook page.

Reminders:.

• Thursday 27^th June 19.30. The Thornbury 10k. No Club Night – everybody down at Oldbury.
• Thursday 4^th July – no access to Leisure Centre as being used for General Election results. We will have an ‘Away Day’ over at Chepstow for the Tintern Trot (see below)

3. 2024 Club Championship 10k – Thursday 13^th Start 19:30 at Sailing Club.

This year, as we have for the last couple of years, will be holding the Club Championship on 13^th June (two weeks before the Thornbury 10k) from the Sailing Club in Oldbury-on-Severn, which will take the place of the usual Thursday night club run that week. More details will be provided over the next few weeks, however in the meantime, we could do with a few volunteers (who are not planning on running) to help out with logistics on the evening i.e., timing, marshalling etc. We only need a handful of volunteers, but without you, the event will not be able to take place. Could those of you who would be able to help out please let Nick know over the next couple of weeks so that he can sort out roles etc. in the run up to the event.

4. Tuesday evening Interval Sessions

We have agreed with Castle School to make use of their grass athletics track to host our coached Tuesday interval sessions over the summer months (7^th May to 27^th August). The sessions are available to all and hosted by our club coaches Nick, Kevin and Hannah. The sessions are free to all club members, start at 7.30pm and last roughly one hour. The sessions normally comprise a warm up, some running drills and the main interval session, before a cool down.

7. Canicross Group – Thursdays

Last year there was interest from members who wished to run with their dogs on a Thursday night club run. This has since been discussed by the committee and agreed that during the summer months, when there is no need for head torches, a mixed ability group for those who wished to run with their dog on a Thursday night could be established. We will happily create a WhatsApp group for those who wish to run with their dog, with those in the group to discuss a route and who will lead that group in any specific week. Could those who are interested please let themselves be known to Nick, who will add you to a WhatsApp group so that you can liaise with one another before a Thursday night club run.
