Always a pleasure, the Dave Dellar run marks the start of Summer. The clocks have just changed and we celebrate the end of the Winter series.
\nDave Dellar and his wife Iris were founding members of the Isle of Wight Road Runners back in 1988 when there was only a handful of members. He has sadly passed away, but would be beaming with pride if he could see how his little club has grown.<\/p>\n

So as a nominated race, speed is not the essence to winning the coveted trophies for this race. Runners must accurately guess how long they think it will take them to complete the 5 mile course. This leaves the competition wide open to every single entrant and an exciting reveal during the presentation.<\/p>\n

Runners started out from the Riverside Centre and made their way out to Blackwater along the cycle path. They then came back along Marvel Lane and up the cheeky hill in Watergate Road to bring them into Shide. Straight through to St James St, swung a right and made their way back to the Riverside Centre, where the time keepers were frantically scribbling down everyone’s times.<\/p>\n

But as already mentioned, the bling winners were not those out in front, but those that paced themselves accurately.<\/p>\n

\n2nd Ian Williams – 20 seconds out
\n3rd Rich Whittington – 24 seconds out<\/p>\n

Well done to all xxx<\/p>\n

Winter Series Winners<\/p>\n

Last but by no means least the winners of the Winter Series were announced. This is a calendar of 12 nominated races (again, runners guessing their times most accurately) spanning 4 to 7 miles. Each week, each nomination will score points correlating with the runners estimated time.
\nThis years winners are….<\/p>\n

1st Shelley Harris – 317 points
\n2nd Steve Bennett – 310 points
\n3rd Julie Ray – 290 points<\/p>\n

Massive congratulations to Shelley, especially as she has been battling back from injury this season. You deserve this trophy for staying strong and never giving up.<\/p>\n
