Run Director: Wole ODELE
The mercury dipped to an extra chilly 2℃ for the last run in November, perhaps, a timely reminder that Xmas is less than a month away. Run 520 saw 235 people (140 males, 95 females) safely run, jog and walk the course in cross-country conditions as the grassy sections were quite slippery. The turnout included 21 first timers.
Kudos to the speedy 16 who recorded new Personal Bests, with help from our 7 pacemaker volunteers on our special month-ending paced run. Two of the PB-makers, Mike BERRY - 26 runs, and Damian PARKER - 23 runs, have run here more than 20 times.
Milestones

Congratulations also to Emer TYNAN and John PAYNE, as they both got to the 50 run- milestone, to stake claims to the red club tee-shirt. Emer and John have run here 42 and 48 times, respectively.
