Rush Around the Rhubarb 2018 Results

 

Thanks to everyone who joined us for this year’s race. This is the first time we’ve put the race on under Run Britain, and as such we had to have an entry limit and clearer rules. The upside was that we could finally offer online entry. This certainly made things easier for our club volunteers working on the registration side of things and hopefully it made things easier for runners too. Feedback is always welcome, so do let us know!

Anyway, onto the races themselves. It’s been scorchingly hot during the day this week so we did wonder if the heat (or the football) would put anybody off but thankfully numbers were once again nice and healthy and most people seemed to find the heat had died down a little, certainly by the time the seniors were running.

Conditions were very dry underfoot so the potential for some new course records was definitely high — did we crown any new Rhubarb Royalty? Read on to find out…

Under 11s:

Let’s start off with our Junior race, since that kicked off first. The U11 race had a very clear winner, as young up-and-comer Thomas Martin of P&B lead the race from the very start and came absolutely storming down the finishing track, with some solid distance between him and 2nd place. Only 7 seconds shy of a new record, we’re expecting some great future results from this young lad.

The first girl was Charlotte Chambers of Otley AC with a great run, finishing 3rd place overall.

Under 15s:

Aston Brogden of Otley was last year’s winner of the U11 race (and still the course record holder) but has since made the transition up to a new category. The move doesn’t seem to have phased him too much though, as he was a winner again this year with a strong finish.

Last year, P&B’s Emily Kite was only 4 seconds off the Course Record so she may have run this year with the target clearly in her sights. We’re pleased to say she smashed it, winning the race yet again for the girls and setting a new Record!

Senior Race:

Speaking of someone who may have had a target in sight… P&B’s Callum Hanson was clearly up for the challenge of taking clubmate Joe Baxter’s record for the Senior course, which he did with 20 seconds or so to spare. A few of us hovering around the start correctly guessed the finishing order putting Saltaire Striders’ Will Kerr in 2nd place and James Wilkinson (P&B) in 3rd.

For the ladies, previous two-time LV40 winner Emma Lavelle-Wood (Kirkstall Harriers) had a great run to take overall victory, ahead of Carly Miller (unattached) in 2nd and Naomi Armitage of Rotherham Harriers in 3rd.

First in the U18 category (and 7th overall) was Declan Walker (P&B) for the chaps and Georgia Beeton for the lasses. A shoutout to our other U18 P&B runner, Mitchell Boocock, who finished in 9th. Good to see these two getting faster as they transition up into the senior categories.

First V40s were Lynne Metcalfe (Rothwell Harriers) and Paul Heeley (Horsforth Fellandale); V50 category winners were Lisa Heath (Pudsey Pacers) and Mark Orbell (Pudsey Pacers); V60s were Debbie Bland (Eccleshill Road Runners) and Jack Verity (Saltaire Striders); and we had only one V70 but it was Dave Tait of Dark Peak, still running strong at 70!

 

 

 

A huge thank you to all the marshals, timekeepers and volunteers who helped ensure everything went smoothly and a big well done to Race Organiser Rachel Pilling for taking on this year’s organisational duties.

Thanks again to folk for supporting our little race, we do hope you enjoyed it and we’ll see you again next year!
