Mar 13th
Sponsored by Florette
James Trollop of Birchfield Harriers won the Florette Fradley 10k today. The 2010 winner romped home but was hampered in his valiant attempt to break the course record by runners completing the first lap of the 2 lap route as a record turn out also caused the start to be delayed by 15 minutes.

Results – Craft Xtreme Challenge – 27th Feb 2011
Feb 27th
The first ever XTREME CHALLENGE at Catton Hall Estate near Alrewas saw around 100 hardy athletes brave the cold wet and very muddy conditions to take on the grueling 5 mile course full of natural and man made obstacles including water features, fences, hay bales, tunnels, cargo nets and tough hill sections, to test even the fittest of fit runners.
In an exciting finish Marcus MacDonald of Burntwood Tri Club held off a brave on the line challenge from Uttoxeter Road Runners Rob Hall to win in a fast time of 34mins 44secs with Hall just a second behind in 34mins 45secs. Chris Tonks was third in 35mins 38secs. More >

HALLIDAY STORMS TO VICTORY IN MONSOON STYLE 10K
The first ever KINGSBURY WATER PARK 10K was held on Sunday October 3rd and the event took place in conditions that bordered on boundaries between monsoon and flood as the Water Park was hit by rain that fell virtually continuously for 8 hours following a week of steady rain previously.
Despite the heavy conditions, over hundred and fifty competitors entered to take part and the 2 lap 5k circuit through one of the region’s prettiest off-road parklands, proved to be a tough challenge for even the most hardy and experienced of athletes.
On the first lap, 3 athletes were in contention with Andrew Halliday, Marcus MacDonald and Steven Ruck forging a breakaway that broke away from the main body of the field at the particularly waterlogged 3-4k mark where it was similar to bog like conditions under foot before the 4k-5k returned athletes to relatively stable conditions underfoot.

The 13th annual Lichfield Cathedral Dash took place on Saturday July 17th 2010 with new sponsors Salts Techstep in place for the first time.
The good weather started the day off promisingly as the first races began at 10 am: the 100m sprints for 8s and unders. Further races for youngsters and adults rolled out 11am when a special staging of the original 1924 race took place with invited athletes from Birchfield Harriers running in period race clothing – as in the Chariots of Fire film.

May 23rd
Race Review
On a sweltering hot morning, nearly 200 runners showed up for the first ever Sutton Runner Sutton Park 10k on Sunday May 23rd in Birmingham’s premier open space Sutton Park.
Near 28°C degree heat caused several runners to pull out after the first of the two 5k loops but Kevin Loundes refused to let the conditions phase him and he won in a creditable 35.34 on a course with two particularly tough inclined sections. Second was Marcus MacDonald in 37.33 and was Brian Maynard third in 38.03.
First woman athlete was Christine Bishop in 43.29 More >

The always popular event had attracted a large field of runners from all over the UK and was sponsored for the first time by Fradley company Florette – the UK’s leading bagged salad specialists, ensuring plenty of spectators were on hand to sample the free samples handed out!
Trollop (18) from Lichfield, headed the field from the start and gradually increased his lead throughout the race to finish in a very creditable 30mins 48 secs, second man home was Coventry Godiva runner Richard Burman in 32.31secs, with Meynell Valley Hunters Tri Club’s Ashley Hurdman third in 33.28.
First female athlete was Melanie James of Bourneville Harriers in 37.51, followed in second place by Kate Cannon in 37.57.
