 OPERATION BETELGEUSE - Orion Mob Match - Saturday 25th October, Epping
 Forest
 There are always new members baffled by the title, so here's a quick
 explanation of what mob matches are. Only two clubs take part in each mob
 match, of which we have four each season - two at home and two away. The
 idea is that each club should field as many runners as possible and all
 finishers count towards the final result. So it's very important to have as
 many runners in the race as possible. Last year we won three out of the four
 and came within a whisker of pulling off a clean sweep. One more runner
 would have pulled it our way...one more runner, not in the top ten or twenty
 - but anywhere in the top fifty. It was a lesson that everyone really can
 make a difference.

 Phil Killingley writes:
 "Orion is a specialist mob match club and we haven't won the away mob match
 against them, or even got close, in 30 years.  This time, we are planning to
 travel to the other side of London with a Mob worthy of that name to turn
 the clock back to 1984 (not sure if that's a selling point?). 

 Please email men's captain philipkillingley@yahoo.co.uk if you can pledge
 your support.  Runners of all standards welcome, so long as you'll be
 prepared to run 7.5 miles of hills and some mud, and have an appetite for
 reversing 30 years of hurt.   We will be aiming to put some transport on for
 those interested.  Anyone going via tube across London can also join a Blue
 and Gold contingent travelling through town. 

 For anyone wondering, Betelgeuse is a large star in the constellation of
 Orion."

 For those making their own way there, Orion's web site has a map showing
 their clubhouse plus directions here:.

 WHAT'S HAPPENED
 ***************
 PAGE CUP 5 miles handicap  Saturday 27th September in Richmond Park.
 There was more good work from Handicapper Angus Cater, as 38 of the 46
 starters in the Page Cup crossed the finishing line within three and a half
 minutes - a result even statman Ken Powley would be proud of. There was just
 one teeny-weeny flaw in Angus's calculations - Angus himself was the winner!
 Now, in some quarters, the consequence of a Handicapper winning one of his
 own handicaps is that he should be summarily taken out and shot. But we're a
 more forbearing bunch in Ranelagh - just as well, or your esteemed e-news
 editor (himself a former Handicapper) would not be here to tell the tale.
 Suffice it to say that Angus ran a good deal faster than he expected and
 deserved the win but will be mercilessly teased for it for some time to
 come. Glowing with embarrassment, he vows to compete as a guest in any
 future handicap races he takes part in.   

 Angus was not the first across the line though -  this honour went to the
 'limit' man Walter Wickham. The Thomas Cup handicap a couple of weeks ago
 had been Walter's first club race for many years, and he had gone off course
 and wasted several minutes. Angus was unaware of this and handicapped him
 for the 'Page' on his 'Thomas' finishing time. The result was that Walter
 was never seen by any pursuer and crossed the line nearly a mile ahead of
 the rest - but fortunately as a guest. Angus passed Cindy Croucher in the
 later stages and went on to take the official victory by over a minute while
 Cindy held off a fast finishing Clive Naish in the race for silver and
 bronze. 

 The officials then had a little breathing space before Jar O'Brien led the
 charge that included Trevor Maguire and George Howard, who ran through the
 field more or less together to record the day's two fastest times of 28.41
 and 29.00. Third place went to Darryl McDonald on 29.41. Fastest woman was
 Megan De Silva on 31.42, ahead of Marie Synnott-Wells, 33.24, and Becky
 Hall, 34.19.

 MIDDLESEX 10km  Saturday 27th September at Victoria Park
 Carl Selya-Hammer writes on Facebook:
 "Very happy to report I just broke 34 minutes in the 10km for the first
 time. As I passed the 9km mark I realized the last 1km had to be my fastest
 of the race to finish under 34min. With the finish line in sight, I gave it
 one final sprint to cross the line in 33:58. I then dropped to my knees and
 promptly vomited. A truly climactic moment."

 RIVER THAMES HALF MARATHON  Sunday 5th October
 Rob Kitchen reports:
 "My first proper race for nearly a year was the inaugural running of this
 promising event - albeit with some teething issues.  A gloriously sunny but
 cool day helped set a good mood.  Running through Walton on Thames was not
 the best start, but there was a nice river section early on.  After that was
 an unmarshalled mile, along a reservoir, with runners crossing a busy road
 seemingly at random to avoid a fence that created a strobe lighting effect
 with the sun.  Things improved considerably at the turn point near Hampton
 Court bridge; little Toby Kitchen was supporting his daddy for the first
 time - although he seemed hypnotised by the procession.  The race route
 along the Thames was tranquil and well supported.  I was able to keep up 9
 minute miles most of the way, but a lack of training told after mile 10.
 Cruelly at 10.5 miles, runners had to pass the finish line - putting the
 400m or so Ranelagh makes runners at our events double back for into
 perspective.  At mile 12, a flat race unexpectedly became somewhat hilly on
 the back roads, so I missed my 2hr aim.  At the finish though was a fine
 goody bag and medal, which Philippa spotted doubles as a bottle opener -
 laying the challenge down to our memento design committee."

 BUSHY PARK parkrun 5km  Saturday 4th October
 This was parkrun's 10th anniversary. Most of the thirteen runners in that
 first run in 2004 were at the time members of Ranelagh, and Alan Hedger and
 Robin Drummond were amongst those helping Paul Sinton-Hewitt deliver his new
 baby. Here are a few extracts from the parkrun website's report written by
 Rodney McCulloch. For the full report and photos go to
 http://www.parkrun.org.uk/bushy/news/.  
 
 "On Saturday 2nd October 2004 at 9am - the first free timed 5 kilometres run
 took place in Bushy Park with 13 runners - the parkrun pioneers, and so an
 idea was born. Ten years on at Bushy we celebrated our anniversary of this
 day in wonderful style, with all 13 parkrun pioneers present amongst a
 record breaking gathering of 1,705 parkrunners on a truly magnificent,
 unforgettable and overwhelming morning. As we celebrated International
 parkrun Day across the world, there are now nearly 500 separate weekly 5km
 events, and over a million registered parkrunners - a fantastic legacy of
 that autumn morning run some 10 years ago, with a mere baker's dozen toeing
 the line at Bushy Park. 

 Saturday mornings would be far poorer without parkrun in our lives; we do
 have a lot to thank our great leader - Paul Sinton Hewitt CBE for! parkrun
 is helping to build and strengthen communities, making new friends whilst
 encouraging us to be active and appreciate our lovely parks and open spaces
 across the world.

 As we all gathered on Chestnut Avenue at 8:40 for the presentations, it was
 a lovely moment to see the 13 parkrun pioneers reunited together for the
 very first time in ten years! They were all wearing the 10th anniversary
 t-shirts for the occasion, and were presented with specially made golden
 athlete barcodes, and a medal by our Junior prize winners Robert Eveson and
 Zoe Dennison! No matter how many millions of parkrunners there will be,
 there will only ever be 13 pioneers - you are the envy of many parkrunners,
 congratulations! The 13 parkrun pioneers were: Andrew Lane, Chris Owens,

 I was with Peter and Lou Coaker at the front of the double funnel, as we
 switched lanes every 20-30 seconds to keep both funnel lanes flowing as the
 runners arrived in their hundreds! By 25 minutes around 700 finishers had
 already crossed the line, and by this point both lanes were looking very
 full! Jack Kennedy, who had already done lead bike then helped out on funnel
 was the first to suggest we should use the outside of the funnel as a third
 lane, and it soon became clear we had no other option!  We used a third lane
 it and it worked perfectly, as over 200 runners headed down the outside of
 the funnel lane for the next couple of minutes. It bought us vital extra
 time as the two double lanes started to clear, and then we could revert to
 the double funnel again! In all there were 30 funnel switches needed, a new
 record! A special mention to the timers - Ally Manole and Simon Lane as an
 unprecedented number of runners crossed the finish line! There were eight
 consecutive minutes with over 100 finishers, with the busiest minute being
 the 27th with a huge 152 finishers! There were 1180 finishers between 20:00
 and 29:59 - in that 10 minute period alone there was just 4 fewer than the
 old Bushy attendance record of 1184! In all an incredible 1,705 runners
 crossed the line, a truly awe-inspiring effort from all the volunteers on
 the day."

 FINALLY...
 Here is Channel 4 News's coverage of Dennis Kimetto's Marathon world record
 in Berlin. It features our own Andy Hayward:  Video:. 
 Andy writes: "I did mention that I was Ranelagh Harriers as well as Raven
 Racers, but sadly ten minutes of interview came down to about five seconds
 of airtime! Andy Tucker obviously got star billing. My foot got almost as
 much airtime (the second one past the camera at the end) as well as my
 backside!"
