The Loseley Park 10k 2009

Official Pictures from the Loseley Park 10k and 4k are now live and online http://gallery.sussexsportphotography.com/a.tlx?k=34pzf1d

On a sunday that we would all probably rather forget about the rain and the wind, and remember the guts, determination and the fun had by everyone it was a good turn out at Loseley Park to raise funds for the CHASE hospice care for children charity.

A map of the route plotted by one of the runners can can be found here http://connect.garmin.com/activity/17744346

Very well done to everyone who a)decided to get out and do it regardless of the weather forecast and b)completing the course. Fingers crossed we'll see you at more of the AAT cross country events through their winter race series the G3's


The Loseley Park 10k 2009

Sunday 1 November 2009

Loseley 10k and 4k completed

No amount of rain and wind could turn away 1000 determined runners.

As sponsorship money pours in for the Chase Children's Hospice over 1000 runners braved the elements and hills to complete the 4th Loseley run.

The charity hope to raise over £35,000.

A special thanks to the marshals who helped with the race and who stood in the driving rain for over 2hrs.

Photos can be downloaded soon from the results page.

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.

Full results can be found on the website www.g3series.co.uk

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

Dear Athlete,

Happy new year from the all about triathlons team.

We hope that your training plans are going to schedule and we look forward to providing you a great year of racing.

To keep up with technology we've started to using electronic chip timing for some events. This frees up our volunteer marshals' time and ensures a more accurate and speedier results service.

Bolt round the Holt: 5k, 10k and half marathon distance. All proceeds for this event go to the GUTS and St Luke's cancer charities. The half marathon distance is an ideal practice for all London marathon runners. 9 April 2009 www.boltholt.co.uk
