Guy Fawkes – Sun 5 Nov
From John Hayes… This classic road race starts and finishes at Ripley Castle, which is a stunning venue. The autumn trees and lovely weather helped ease the pain of running round the surprisingly hilly 10 mile route. It would be impracticable – and probably illegal – for the organisers to hand out goody bags of gunpowder […]

From Sally Armitage… Entered in an unashamed bid to claim the club 10k age category record, this race didn’t disappoint. Fast and flat, 100% road, it has oodles of PB potential.
