1 Bridlington Road Runners Newsletter - Aug Issue Info@BridlingtonRR.co.uk Bridlington Road Runners Facebook Group Brid Free Press Reports By Cathy Wood 26th June The race week started on Tuesday evening for Bridlington Road Runners with the East Hull Harriers Summer League 10k race staged at Coniston. First Bridlington man back was Scott Hargreaves claiming sixth position in a respectable time of 35:35. Janet Potter was first Over-60 female and Verona Petty put in a strong run, earning her third position in the overall handicap series. 6th Scott Hargreaves 35:35, 23 Simon Ellerker 40:02, 33 Lewis Dale 41:26, 35 Bill Pike 41:29, 40 Andy Baker 42:06, 45 John Potter 43:12, 65 Mollie Holehouse 44:58, 76 Anthony Hughes 46:07, 77 Janet Potter 46:17 (1st F60 ), 78 Graham Lonsdale 46:20, 82 Martin Hutchinson 46:53, 104 Patricia Bielby 48:48, 115 Kelly Palmer 49:43, 116 Diane Palmer 49:49, 128 Heidi Baker 51:57, 133 Verona Petty 52:27, 147 Dominique Webster 54:08, 148 Zoe Ellis 54:09 30th June Saturday saw the start of the Endure 24, which was held at Bramham Park. This is a 24-hour race on an undulating five-mile lap of woodland trails. Athletes ran individually or in teams of two, six or eight. Although the weather was ideal for camping, and spectating, the extreme heat proved to be very challenging for the athletes taking part. Bridlington was strongly represented with three teams and two solo runners. After running as part of a team in a similar event last year Jane Welbourn decided to take on the challenge of a solo run. She took 35th female position and covered a distance of 60 miles altogether. Ultra-distance runner Anthony Hughes also took on the solo challenge and finished 13th male covering an incredible 100 miles. Not only does an athlete have to be in top physical condition to take on such an event but determination and a positive mental attitude is needed too, both of which Jane and Anthony had on the day. Female Solo in 35th, Jane Welbourn covering 60 miles. Male Solo in 13th, Anthony Hughes covering 100 miles. Mixed team 17th Wendy's Winners -165 miles; Six-member team 4th, Shake, Rattle & Run -155 miles; Mixed team 22nd, Bobettes-160 miles.

Safety Ideas ICE - In Case of Emergency We all think that nothing will ever happen to us while we are running/training.

A little while ago I noticed that one of our members was wearing her Parkrun Tag fastened to her vest and I assumed that she had forgotten to remove it.

This info is on Parkrun barcode cards and wristbands which are available to buy from the Parkrun site. Last weekend I learnt of another alternative.. Many of us carry our mobile phones with us.

HOWEVER you can put a message on the LOCK SCREEN itself. For example:- ICE Tel: 123456789 The way you do this is probably different with different phones.

2 Safety Ideas ICE - In Case of Emergency We all think that nothing will ever happen to us while we are running/training. But it is sensible to take precautions - just in case something unfortunate does happen. Especially, if we are training on our own. A little while ago I noticed that one of our members was wearing her Parkrun Tag fastened to her vest and I assumed that she had forgotten to remove it. But she told me that she always wore it while out running BECAUSE it included her name, telephone number and medications. Personally, I thought that was a great idea. This info is on Parkrun barcode cards and wristbands which are available to buy from the Parkrun site. Last weekend I learnt of another alternative.. Many of us carry our mobile phones with us. Which is great if we have to call for assistance - but the Lock screen would prevent anyone else from knowing who we are or be able to call one of our contacts in an emergency. HOWEVER you can put a message on the LOCK SCREEN itself. For example:- ICE Tel: The way you do this is probably different with different phones. The way I did it was as follows (experiment to see how you do it on your phone). <Settings> <Lock Screen> <Owner Information> Input:- ICE Mobile Number &/or Land Line Andy Godfrey BFP Reports continued Ireland 41:29, 133rd Tracey Holehouse 44:34, 145th Sharon Bowes 45:32,158th Stuart Bowes 46:51, 164th Lynda Gent 47:37, 182nd Luke Duffill 50:51, 221 Linda Hall 56:12, 222nd Robert Calthorpe 56:12, 231st Tina Calthorpe 01:00:58.

3 Jog along the Minster Way 2018 Second Leg Postponed until September On Saturday 9th June, Julie Robson Madden and myself will be leaving the HAYRIDE PUB, MOLESCROFT at 7:00am and running, jogging and walking half the route of the Minster Way and will then complete the route the following Saturday on 16th June! The first stage route is approximately 25 miles long, and we would love you all to join us. We will be running as a group, sticking together, running the pace of the slowest runner, you can run until you have had enough, no set mileage. You would have to arrange your own pick up lifts at which ever point you choose to stop but unfortunately we don t really know the times when we will reach each village. You could challenge yourself to see how far you can run in one go!! The first 3 miles are through the town of Beverley on footpaths therefore I plan to change my trainers once arriving at the Hayride Pub at Molescroft, from there on majority is off road, through lots of fields. You next go to; Arram, Scarborough, Lockington, Kilnwick, Bainton, North Dalton, Huggate and finally Millington! For this stage my hubby will follow us by car throughout the run, therefore we can leave supplies with him in the car. I m imagining we will be on our feet for the whole day, therefore lots of food, snacks and water will be a must! Last year we organised the Wolds Way and this was well supported and enjoyable, so this years challenge is a little different but hopefully an adventure!! Let us know if you fancy running some of the route or even all of it!! Thanks in anticipation!!
