Phoenix finishers at Manchester Marathon 

74 Phoenix members finished the Brighton Half Marathon on sunny but windy day with the Easterly wind in runners faces, which definitely affected race-times in the final few miles

Simon Heath ran 68:58 to continue his excellent record in this race having finished 4th and 9th in previous years. Todd Leckie ran 73:18 for 17th place

Sibel Latchman was first Phoenix woman and 6th FV40 with a time of 88:24 closely followed by Isabel Norris in 89:10

Tim Clarke and Stuart Robert came home 6th and 7th in the MV40 category with Gary White 10th in the MV50's. The evergreen Terry Avey finished 4th in the MV70 category.

Unfortunately, our friends at RaceAhead race results do not provide finishing positions if you search for club results, so those are not shown, but can be found in the full results link above.

A big, windy weekend of competition unless competing indoors !

Amelia Culshaw warmed-up for the Marathon de Sables with 1st place in the womens field and 9th overall at the Pilgrim Challenge, a 2 day, 66 mile event over the North downs Way this weekend. With 5hrs 4 minutes on Saturday and 5hrs 23 on Sunday in what had to be a wind affected course, Amelia won both the Womens overall as well as the 40+ age group. Probably will be slightly warmer in the desert :-)

At the British Universities and Colleges Cross Country Championships, held at a muddy, windy Horsenden Hill in Greenford, Mia Edwards and Maia Hardman ran for Exeter and Cambridge in the Short and Long course respectively. Mia finished well up the field in 142nd and 4th team scorer for Exeter ; whilst in the long course event, Maia excelled herself with 38th and helped the Cambridge team to 5th place as 3rd points scorer.
