Winter Series 2025/26 Race 2

Wednesday 17th December.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over but before we discuss the results let us pay homage to all the volunteers and organisers who braved the elements for well over an hour to allow us to do what we love, run. Well done and thank you to each and every one of you. 

So to the results, first across the line on the evening was Emma Bennett who ran over a minute faster than she did in Race 1, congratulations , and she was followed by Emma Wilson in second with Rob Dalkin in third. On a challenging evening, only 14 of the 74 competitors came home under the 38:00 target time, showing just how grim and difficult the conditions were. It is sometimes good to get these difficult races under our belts because the next time we run and it gets a bit difficult we can have a word with ourselves and say ‘at least its not winter series race 2’. 

Early days in the individual competition so still plenty to play for.

For the team competition, victory on the evening went to Girls are Loud, who had their 4 counters all within the top 30 finishers with Run like the Winded in second and Ali’s Aces in third. At this early stage, Run Like The Winded are sitting pretty at the top of the table however things are close and across the 2 races to date, the top 4 positions in both races have been occupied by 8 different teams. Gonna be a lot closer than the Summer Cup this year….

The bonus points for volunteers played an important part this time round with each of the top 3 teams only maintaining their ‘finish’ positions by having volunteer bonuses.

Some STIG related data….

48 of the 74 competitors were within +/- 1 min of target 
27 of 74 were within +/- 30s of target time 
Busiest period (38:28-38:42) saw 12 finishers in that time

So there we have it ladies and gents, all done and dusted and time to relax a wee while and enjoy Xmas and New Year before we gather again for Race 3 on 14th January, same time same place. Stay fit, race well (the STIG will be seeing all) and see you all on the 14th. Keep your eyes peeled for the handicaps being released in the days before and make sure you are on the line at the right time for your start.

Merry Christmas 
Dave (and the STIG)

Next race Wednesday 14th January  – see you all there.
