BECKETT STORMS TO VICTORY
Michael Beckett was victorious in the WAITROSE LICHFIELD HALF MARATHON yesterday, a feat made all the more memorable as it was his first ever race over the distance!
Beckett (pictured) was in a small group of 4 who split off from the main field at around the 5 mile mark but then he broke clear in the last mile and came home to the cheers of the large crowd on Stowe Field. He was very complimentary of the event and how it was organized:
“I’d trained very hard to prepare but I couldn’t believe how well I ran. I’d like to thank all of the organisers, supporters and runners for creating a great atmosphere and coming out on a lovely Sunday morning to make it such a wonderful event.”
First female athlete home was Amanda Deavy (pictured) of Northbrook AC.
Richard Davis (pictured with winning athletes) Department Manager of sponsors Waitrose was delighted with how the event had gone:
“It was good to see the community of Lichfield out in such big numbers, it was a really well organised event with a fantastic atmosphere at the finish on Stowe Field. We hope we can be involved again in 2013 to make the event even bigger and better.”
Kevin Wilson of organisers KP Events was also pleased with the success of the event:
“We were very lucky with the weather which helped but the running community came together with the non-running community to make the day truly special and memorable for all who took part and watched the event. The police were wonderful in helping make it a safe event, and we raised money on the day for the WELOVELICHFIELD FUND which helps a number of good causes in the city – which is brilliant too.”

Results and Photos – Xtreme Challenge – 5th Feb 2012
Feb 5th
SNOW JOKE AS HALL ROMPS HOME
The Xtreme Challenge held on Sunday February 5th at the Catton Hall Estate near Alrewas attracted a field of 200+ entrants and the arctic conditions caused by up to 3 inches of snow on the Saturday before only served to encourage more effort and human bravado from the exertions of the hardy runners that took part.
The course, an approximate 10k in length consisted of a 2 lap circuit of the estate grounds and was made up of steep gradients, deadly declines, wicked man-made obstacles more suited for equine athletes, tunnels, 12 foot high hay bales, icy water that saw some athletes have to virtually skate over, but as things ‘warmed up’ others had to wade through up to their chests and all laced with that magic ingredient… deep snow!!
First person home was Uttoxeter RR athlete Robert Hall, second last year but now triumphant in a time of 39:15, the only sub 40 min runner in the field. He was chased home by Alistair Gorrie who finished in 40:29 with Jacob Fry coming in third in 41.21.
First of the many women taking part was Stafford Triathlon Club’s Jen Seager in 50:49 who finished in front of Hallamshire Harriers’ Emily Morton in 52:46 with Joanna Rooney third in 53:24. A special well done to Dan Gibson aged 13, who came 29th!

CLAMP TRIUMPHS IN THE KINGSBURY MUD
Tipton Harriers veteran athlete Phil Clamp won the second running of the KP CORPORATE KINGSBURY WATER PARK 10K on Sunday Nov 27th in windy but fine conditions on a course that had plenty of muddy paths and wetland areas to make it a testing event for all 300 + who entered.
Clamp, an expert runner in the cross country genre started strongly and gradually eased his way to the front early on and left the others to do the chasing in the vain hope of catching him, but his time of 33:21 was testament to his abilities in tough conditions. First woman home was Ute Baird of Team Raidlight in 43:07.

Results – Sutton Park Super Man – 11th Sept 2011
Sep 14th
This joint event with Cancer Research WEST MIDLANDS was a new event designed to appeal to men in a similar vein to the very successful RACE FOR LIFE womens’ events.
Participants dressed as a Superhero of their choice and had to take on some interesting challenges around the specially designed 9k route of Sutton Park, including wetting stations, cargo nets, steep inclines, woody trails and then run through foam at the finish line.
Well done to all the the runners, fund raisers and everyone else who helped to organise this successful fun run. Over 200 Batmen, Spidermen, Buzz Lightyears, Invincibles, Wonder Women and others braved the windy conditions to raise thousands of pounds for such a good cause.
