Great Barford Half Marathon - Club Championship Race  14 Dec
Eight club runners took part in the Great Barford Half Marathon on a cold and windy, but sunny day.  This was the first time that we have held a club championship race over the half marathon distance, and the winners for 2003 are Ian Skerratt and Jan Forrester, based on Age-Graded times.  Congratulations to both winners and to all who took part on a testing course (there were 969 other finishers).

Biggleswade AC Christmas Handicap (Fairy Run)  20 Dec
Over 30 Club runners maintained the tradition of the Christmas "Fairy Run" at the RSPB in Sandy.  In the Junior race of 1 mile, Kieran Best came home the winner, just holding off his brother Justin.  In the Senior race of 3 miles, Emily Woodfield, previously inactive due to a recent injury, set off in third place, based on handicap times.  She surprised everyone, including herself, by overtaking the two runners in front, and then holding off the whole field to claim the prize.  A buffet was enjoyed by all in the Sir William Peel after the race.  Many new members took part for the first time, and a 'staggering' record number of 13 runners set off on the extended afternoon 7 mile run, which included visits to several interesting venues and hostelries around East Beds.
