Life after St Martha’s back passage
Snow + Rock G3 run series
The Surrey hills, undulating countryside and woodlands were home to the final of the Snow+Rock G3 run series, which came to an end this weekend. Over 950 athletes completed one or more of the gruesome 10k runs made only slightly more bearable by the fancy new electronic chip timing system and For Goodness Shakes recovery drink waiting at the finish line.
The knee trembling back passage, sandy paths and long slippery fields didn’t deter the athletes as they scrambled across the line wishing they’d never taken up running in the first place. Regular G3 runners including Jake Moran, Andy Ward, Dave Rollins, Sarah Rollins and Louise Curtis dominated the races, some of which were seen racing the next day in another 20k xc race!
Full credit is due to the 38 volunteer marshals who helped bring this race together and with whom the races would not work. Further gratitude is also accredited to Surrey Wildlife Trust who manages the land throughout the year for walkers, cyclists and runners alike.

Dear Marshal
Dear Marshals
We can't say thank you enough for all your help with this years G3, but thank you all the same! Over 913 athletes completed one of the 3 events, each of which were brilliantly managed by the 38 marshals who helped out.
With our new timing system the pressure was off, which freed up valuable worrying time for me to talk to the athletes. Yet again the feedback mostly centered around the enthusiastic marshals and how great the all about triathlon events are. Runner's world ratings were over 93%!! So let's all pat ourselves on the back.
Everyone gets free entry to any race so please just let me know. (Upcoming event's details can be found on the website.)
Please offer feedback on your experience of marshalling so that we can improve things for next time. We're very aware of the importance of marshals to the races without which we'd be scuppered.
Thank you again and we hope to see you all again soon.
Toby and Rory

Technical training top
We've decided not to sell cotton t-shirts for each event, but instead offer these fancy training tops. What do you think? The idea is that because few people wear the cotton t-shirts, we hoped instead athletes might invest in something a little more stylish and useful.
You can follow the link on the home page to make a purchase.

Snow+Rock G3 February 09
The crisp frost and clear blue skies made for another excellent day of xc running.
After a brief health and safety talk from the race director, 320 runners charged off towards St Martha's back passage and the church.
First athletes [D Rollins M and S Rollins W] cruised the course in just over 40 minutes.
The new chip timing system is proving accurate and very proficient. This, along with free recovery drinks and bananas, now sets the G3 apart from another 10k as a UK top race.
And for those who've pushed themselves to far and need help contact Vida Health for their 20% discount on treatments. more info here
