Christmas Cracker
23/09/2019
The Christmas Cracker race is only 11 weeks away! On Sunday 8th December. It is our biggest and busiest race of the year. As usual we need everyone who is available to help ensure the race goes off smoothly and is another huge success. This of course means YOU! A survey will soon be landing in your email inbox which allows you to let us know if you can help and what you are available for. There are many jobs to be done both inside race HQ and outside on the course. As well as race day help we also need help on a few tasks leading up to the day of the race so you may be able to help us with those.
Most importantly please, please , please complete the survey. It only takes a few minutes and saves us a huge amount of time chasing members to try and find out what they can help with. All helpers get the chance to come along on Saturday 7th December and run our own club version of the race, the “Not Cracker” with a free breakfast afterwards. So don’t miss out and please let us know what you can do by completing the survey as soon as it arrives.

Over 60 runners from Weston Athletic Club toed the line on Sunday morning with 12,000 others for the start of the Bristol Half Marathon. The hot temperature was not ideal for running, and made the going tough.

Susan ran her fastest half to finish in 1.25.08, second in her age category and tenth woman overall. Chris finished the race in 14th place overall with his blistering time of 1.13.44, only 38 seconds off his personal best.
