Summer Cup 2025 Race 5 Results

Firstly many thanks to all the volunteers and organisers that have made the series possible which culminated in an exciting, if slightly windswept, 5th race last night with 80 competitors taking to the circuit to ‘influence’ the final positions for the individual competition in the 2025 Summer Cup.

Victory on the evening went to Steven Jones who made a very welcome return to form to clinch the race win by only 4 seconds from Diane Hankins in second place and Kathryn Gillie who headed the remaining masses in 3rd place less than 30 seconds behind the winner. While I personally was not in a position to see this close finish at the front end of the field (too far behind🤣🤣) the STIG informs me that it was a great spectacle and a fitting end to the series😀👍

So to the individual competition. with several people in with a shout, the final placings not only relied on how the challenging individuals performed in their own run but also on how their competitors performed relative to themselves. In the end, there were only 4 points separating 1st and 3rd places, a remarkably close series with the victory going to Louise Millican whose 10th place on the night and a total of 18 points for the 4 counting races was just enough to pip Diane Hankins, despite her second place on the night, by 2 points. Two points further back in 3rd place was Emma Wilson who finished in 6th place on the night.

Congratulations to Louise Millican 🏆🥇on the victory in a series which saw the first 6 placed athletes improving their race time in every race they ran in as well as several others further down the field doing exactly the same, great progress 👏👏💪.

To the Team competition now and the result had already been decided as The Bimbles had taken all previous race wins and were uncatchable, well, they finished it off in style with a 5th victory in the final race. 👏👏 Placings were still to be decided though and with some blistering runs from the youngsters George Bryce, Dexter Heatley and Jamie Floyd, ably supported by Kimberley Bryce (who incidentally also improved her race time in every race through the series💪💪) Keeping up with the Kids, securing second place on the evening, pipping Coastline Coasters to second place overall by a single point.

So there we have it, series complete and victors identified 😀💪💪 but before we sign off, here is the STIG related data….

63 of the 80 competitors were within +/- 1 min of target time (circa 79%) 
45 of the 80 competitors were within +/- 30 seconds of the target time (circa 56%) 
Busiest finish 15 second period was 38:02-38:16 with 19 competitors crossing the line in the 5 second period between 38:02 and 38:06, 11 people crossed the line, busy few seconds for the timekeepers that mind 😉😀

Across the series

141 of the 163 registered competitors ran at least 1 race 
127 ran 2 or more races 
72 ran 4 or more races 
13 competitors were ever present, running every race

So ladies and gents, a month or so off now until we start the 2025-2026 winter series but the STIG will be monitoring performances between now and then in preparation for that series handicaps and also for the Autumn Relays. Race well, stay fit and see you all in Cramlington to do it all again 😀😀

Final congratulations to all the winners and massive thanks to all competitors, organisers and volunteers that made this all possible😀💚💚

Cheers 
Dave and the STIG
