of the Luxulyan Valley and lots and lots of HILLS!!
Lovely scenic route though with fantastic views, streams and waterfalls.

Presentation Night Awards Northampton Road Runners conducted their annual general meeting and presentation night at Moulton
with 7 members of the club recognised for their achievements. The most improved runner was Mark
Garrett, whose improvement over the 12 months was best illustrated by 5 progressive runs at the
half marathon distance. The runners' runner award voted for by all members was shared between
Club Chairman Alan Hackett and Secretary Jo Smith. The Chairman's trophy was won by club stalwart
Bob Feasey for his continued contribution and support for the club. The Female Runner of the Year
was Maree Jesson, who has had an excellent 12 months with notable successes in local races as
well as the big Marathon stage. Andy Blaize was the Male Runner of the Year, following consistent
performances across many distances throughout an estimated 35 races. The Committee trophy was
awarded to Sally and Mark Garrett, new members to the club in 2006, in recognition of their
contribution to the club at a sporting, social and organisational level. Shakespeare Half With the excitement of the London Marathon over, a single Northampton Road Runner was in action
as Sue White competed in the Rotary Shakespeare Half Marathon. White had been disappointed with
her performance in London, 7 days earlier and was determined to put that behind her saying
"I need to prove it to myself". White was successful in laying her London "ghost to rest" with
an excellent 1:47:01, putting her amongst the top quarter of the 1,709 strong field. 27th Flora London Marathon Northampton Road Runners were well represented in the 27th Flora London Marathon, however roadside temperatures of 25 degrees centigrade for the hottest London race in history, put paid to ambitions of fast times.
A slow start and the heat, prevented Andy Blaize from achieving his sub 3 hour target, but a debut 3 hours 2 minutes and 7 seconds was a respectable effort.
The clubs' marathon specialist, Maree Jesson lined up on the women’s elite start and was less than 2 minutes outside her best in 3:14:31, a time which saw her placed 166th female, and ensures she will return to the elite start in 12 months.
Good friends Mark Nightingale and Simon Tootell ran together for most of the 26.2 mile journey, though on this occasion it was Nightingale, the experienced marathon runner who finished the stronger in 3:26:45, with the debutant Tootell, home in 3:37:22.
67 year old veteran Mick Clarke shows no sign of slowing and broke his regular 4 hour target, with an excellent 3:58:01, giving him 22nd place in the over 65 category.
A delighted Jo Faulkner handled the weather and was able to improve on her 2006 time by over 9 minutes, clocking 4:06:06.
Previous London finishers Steve Morgan, Mick Bhogal, Patrick "Spike" Breydin and Dave Solomon navigated the course sensibly in the conditions with respective times of 4:29:11, 4:43:11, 5:16:17 and 5:25:02.
Sue White had run a marathon before, but her 1st London saw her come home in 4:53:35.
One of the performances of the day came from the ever smiling and popular Pauline Horne in the Ladies Veteran 55 group. Horne had trained to run a 5 hour race and was spot on finishing in 5:03:21.
Irchester series is a family affair Northampton Road Runners were fully represented in each of the 3
distances of the 1st leg of the Irchester Country Park Series that
started on Sunday. It was certainly a family affair for the Garretts, with mother Sally
Garrett clocking a respectable 33.41 in the 5K distance. In the 10K race, husband Mark “Morris Man” Garrett produced the
performance of the day when 9th with a time of 40.39, and son David
Garrett had a fine run in 49.43 in what were tough conditions. “Colonel” Tom Sullivan, seemingly an ever-present in these local races
finished close behind with a time of 50.52. In the 15K race, marathon bound Simon Tootell and Maree Jesson ran
together for times of 72.48 and 72.49 respectively, commendable considering they
had already ran laps of the course prior to the race in order to meet their
training needs.
XC Report-Magic Morrow Shines @ East Haddon. The latest cross country held on Karen said after the race, “I’ll soon be back to my best, I won’t stop
until I’m once again the number one lady at the club. Bring it
on.” The ladies team was led home by Joanne Smith, who improved on her club
3rd at Letchworth with a brave run from Jo Cummins completing the
scorers. The men’s team were led home by John Saw, who is returning to form after
illness, followed by “Morris Man” Mark Garrett who secured his best cross
country club finish in 2nd place. Mark puts his improved form down to
some of the training he gets from his 2nd hobby, stating “It’s all
the jumping around we do. I don’t suppose waving the handkerchiefs around
contributes much, although the tight shorts help my glutes.” Richard “The” House and Simon Toottel produced good runs to be
3rd and 4th respectively, with the club’s old guard of
“Dangerous” Davie Whatton, Freddie Marriott and Gary Britten completing the
scoring. Bob Feasey “was also there” with Club President Alan Hackett left
wondering what might have been, but for the late withdrawals of club stars, Gary
McDaniels, Maree Jesson and Andy "I'll be back" Blaize.

The Northampton Road Runners ladies team were spurred on by
Mark Garrett's pre-race pledge to take up Morris Dancing if any of them were
able to beat him in a race. Garrett's 66th in the men's race saw him finish just
a little way ahead of NRR's first lady home, Maree Jesson, who was a best ever
9th lady finisher. It is likely to get more difficult for Mark, in the longer
races which are Maree?s speciality and maybe he should be getting his hat, stick
and handkerchiefs ready. The 2 other lady scorers were 33rd placed Mandy Crook,
in her 1st race since the London Marathon and 46th placed Joanne Smith, enjoying
her best finish and also 1st time amongst the scorers. Elaine Palmer was an
excellent 47th, with the fast finishing Karen Morrow 51st and debutant Jane
Cosby 74th. Carol Whatton in 90th and Ginnette Pilkington in 96th, both improved
nicely on their Biggleswade Runs. The men's team were led home by Gary McDaniels
who produced a superb run in 34th place, followed by 41st placed Andy Blaize and
the consistant Dave Whatton in 61st. The other men's scorers were the solid trio
of Richard House in 76th, Simon Tootell in 81st and the returning Fred Marriot
in 101st. Club veterans, "Colonel" Tom Sullivan, Bob Feasey and Mick Clarke
fought out a dramatic finish up the final hill, as they finished 161st, 162nd
and 163rd respectively.
