Report from Lee Gumbrell: Early January and I had decide to take on the 200 mile drive down the A1 to run the infamous Benfleet 15. Although not a local race this one is a beauty and I’d recommend it to anyone up for a challenge. The course is made up 5 miles of Hadleigh downs conquering the hills and slogging through the mud followed by 8 miles of trail along the Thames estuary over the bridge with an out…

Report from Ben Cousen: I took part in one of my favourite races, the (approx 10 mile) Wild Night Run in southern Dartmoor. This was the third or fourth time I have raced this. Unfortunately this year a last minute spat with some landowner (property is theft and all that) meant that the 10 mile race was altered to two laps of the concurrent “Mild Night Run”. This made the race faster but not necessarily easier because although the trackless…

Report from Sarah F This isn’t a normal race report this is a story of failure- I wouldn’t usually write up a race that I didn’t complete (and there’s been a few over the years!) but I hope this is an interesting insight into motivation and the power of the mind and I thought it was worth sharing. Most of you probably know I have a long term relationship with the spine race (aka an unhealthy obsession!!), which involves ‘running’…

Richard Hamer reports: Caveat alert. As I’m only a friend of the club I’m not allowed to race under the OAC name, but I’m pretty certain I can submit a race report; so here goes. The Gargrave Half Marathon is one of the road series of events courtesy of It’s Grim Up North Running. I got roped in because Phil Robinson wasn’t able to run it, and I do have a couple of halves coming up this year so if…

Report from Nicola Swann: This was the third year in a row that I have run this race. It is a lovely start to the new year.  A challenging route at points with some climbs up through the Temple Newsam estate and plenty of mud to go with it. I was surprised that I was the only Otley AC runner but it does sell out fast. It is a well organised event starting and finishing on the fields by the…
