01/10/2017 - Shelton 10k, Sandstone Trail..


In the Shelton Striders 10k, four Ivanhoe Runners took part, with Alistair Chambers first home for the club in 19th overall in 38.32 but brilliantly finishing first in his age category. Richard Martin was 26th in 39.11, and Mark Parker was 38th in 40.29. Michelle Moore was running her third event of the weekend after a Saturday parkrun followed by a 12k cross-country race. In the 10k, Michelle clocked 1.18.16. 

Two Ivanhoe Runners travelled to Cheshire to take part in the Sandstone Trail Races. Andy Lindley opted for the 10 miles and clocked 1 hour 44 minutes for the very muddy event, while Julie Taylor clocked 2 hours 50 minutes for the 17 mile race. 

With the Burton and District League series now completed, the overall awards have been compiled and Ivanhoe Runners picked up plenty of prizes. The men were joint first in the series overall but finished second on count-back, while the women also performed brilliantly to finish second. 

Individual prizes also went to Ramzi Sidani and Craig Hinds as second and third in the V40 category,  Lucy McDermott second in the V35 category, Victoria Smith third in the V45 category and a fantastic first lace for Helen Finn in the Vet55 category!
