RIVER THAMES HALF MARATHON Sunday 18th October
Roy Reeder of Stragglers writes:
"I'm once again organising the River Thames Half Marathon. The start is in
Walton-on-Thames and a fair bit of the route is along the towpath, so it's
flat, scenic and mostly traffic free. Full details here:. I'm offering £4 off the entry fee to Ranelagh
Harriers runners till 18th July. Use the entry code ranh4off at the Sport
Systems store."
GREEN BELT RELAY - Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th May
Roy Reeder again:
"If you would like to be part of this event but aren't able to race 20 miles
or thereabouts over two days you can be, as Stragglers are looking for
helpers. This could be help with course marking on the Friday before or over
the weekend, time-keeping or just doing some marshalling on leg 1 from
Hampton Court Palace to Staines on Saturday morning or leg 22 from Walton
Bridge to the Hawker Centre on Sunday afternoon. Contact Roy for more
details, royreeder@hotmail.com
It's a little known fact that ALL the surplus from the relay goes to charity!
Last year's race raised £2500 for Princess Alice Hospice."
FIXTURES SECRETARY
Andy Woodhouse is standing down as Fixtures Secretary from next year. He
will be doing the job for the 2015/16 winter season, but thereafter we will
need a replacement. Essentially the job entails setting the dates for our
winter fixtures. Some, like area championships and leagues, are fixed for us
and we have to work our domestic fixtures - handicaps, mob matches etc -
around them. If anyone is interested it would be a good idea for him or her
to shadow Andy on this winter's fixtures. Contact Hon Sec Wyn Williams.

RANELAGH JUNIORS
Check out what's happening in our junior section here:.
STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES
The junior handicap series is held on Thursday evenings between April and
August at the Hawker Centre off Lower Ham Road in Kingston. Remaining dates
are as follows:
Thursday 21st May - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 11th June - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 25th June - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 16th July - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 27th August - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Runners are allotted a start time depending on their previous performances,
with the slower runners starting first. First time runners are given a
handicap according to their age. The course is just over 2 km on the grass
area in front of the Hawker Centre. It consists of four laps of the
perimeter of the grass area, which will be marked out. After the end of the
fourth lap the runners will cross the finish line and go down the finish
funnel in the order in which they crossed the line. New or inexperienced
runners, if they find 2 km a bit far, can run one lap - they will be given a
time, but their results will not count towards any individual or team
scores.
Points are scored for your club according to finishing position and personal
best times. First timers receive a medal for completing the course. In each
race medals are awarded to the first boy and first girl (regardless of their
overall place), and further medals are awarded to the 2nd and 3rd overall
places (whether boys or girls). The overall trophy and shields for first,
second and third places and the team trophy will be presented on the last
Thursday of either September or October. We will announce the actual date as
widely as possible. In order to take part in the junior handicap, entrants
must have a consent and medical form signed by a parent or legal guardian.
See Form:. Please pre-register with coaches Colin, Heather or Maia.

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
THAMES TOWPATH 10 miles Sunday 19th April at Chiswick
The opening event of our 2015 Summer Road Grand Prix attracted 28 runners
from Ranelagh - not bad in the middle of Marathon season. Steve Whitehead
was our top man, 4th in 58.49 and 2nd veteran over 40. Rick Jenner ran well
for 11th place then came Bill Neely, just outside the prize list as 4th over
50. Stewart Anderson - like Bill, warming up for the following week's London
- was also inside 70 minutes and Paul Rider was just outside. Then came
several more in the 70 minutes bracket, followed by our leading woman on the
day, Emma Wood, who recorded 85.08. Not far behind Emma were Carol Aikin and
Sally Bamford.

LONDON MARATHON Sunday 26th April
The warm weather that had been making us think that summer had arrived
abated just in time for the race, but the cooler conditions were accompanied
by heavy rain over the Saturday night. Fortunately the rain cleared up
during the morning, leaving generally good conditions for both runners and
spectators. A stellar line-up had been assembled for both men's and women's
races. It was Kenyans who dominated the men's race, but the winner was to be
neither the holder Wilson Kipsang nor the world record holder Dennis
Kimetto. Instead, in a tight finish, it was a victory for the former track
specialist Eliud Kipchoge in 2:04.42, just 13 seconds outside the course
record.
Just as for the men's race, the pace-makers were largely an irrelevance in
the women's event. A relatively slow early pace guaranteed there would be no
records but it was another fight to the finish with Ethiopia coming out on
top in the shape of Tigist Tufa. She ran 2:23.22, 18 seconds clear of
Kenya's Mary Keitany, who had run sub 2:20 in winning the 2011 and 2012
races. Of course, pace-makers or not, no-one was going to touch Paula
Radcliffe's magnificent world record of 2:15.25 from the 2003 race. Paula
herself enjoyed a valedictory "lap of honour" starting with the masses
rather than the elite. She still ran a nifty 2:36 as the leading woman from
the mass start.
For Ranelagh the competition for the Winter Cup club marathon championship
was expected to be a duel between George Howard and Carl Selya-Hammer, and
so it proved. George made the faster start and passed 10km in 36.41 to
Carl's 37.26. By half way, George's advantage had grown to 1.41 as he went
through in 1:17.22 with Carl on 1:19.03. By 30k, passed by George in
1:50.31, the gap had grown to 2:13. However, George - head down and
determined - was beginning to suffer and his next 10km took 38.45 to Carl's
38.11. George wasn't about to crumble, however, and at the finish he still
had 1:23 in hand over his rival. Both ran inside 2:40, and I believe both
times were PBs. Carl wrote: "That was beyond anything I could have hoped
for, truly the greatest marathon in the world. 13 marathons in, I've finally
learned to run a patient race so I felt strong until the very end."
Third Ranelagh finisher was Kris Davidson who ran a very steady race with
5km splits varying by less than half a minute until slowing a little in the
last few kilometres. His 2:43.59 was another PB, as was Duncan Mallison's
2:57.31. Duncan's was another well-judged run, grinding out the kms in
metronomic fashion to duck inside 3 hours for the first time. Sub 3:10 were
marathon debutant Peter Faull and Stewart Anderson, and sub 3:20 were Nick
Wright and Bill Neely. Also sub-3:20 was Becky Hall who ran a big PB of
about 3:15 to take our women's club championship for the Brasher Bowl.
Unfortunately her chip malfunctioned and at the time of writing her exact
time is still to be confirmed. from backup sources.
Another with a duff chip was Bruce McLaren but his time has been sorted out
as 3:23. A Ranelagh crowd came through at about 3:40, including Chris Hunton
and his daughter Amelie. They had been on separate starts and resolved to
run their own races, but found themselves together at 18 miles. So they ran
the rest of the way together and finished hand in hand. Just behind was
Wiebke Kortum, who was another to judge her run perfectly, hardly slowing at
all to record a 3:40.34 PB. Karen Weir and Sean Paynter were next in, then
Simon Martin who was one of the Runner's World pacers. 3:45 was his target,
and he led his followers home with admirable precision in 3:44.29.
Our last sub-4 hours finisher was Mike Peace, completing is 35th London
Marathon as one of now just twelve ever-presents. Mike's fastest was 2:37.21
back in 1991, his slowest 3:57.27 when carrying an injury in 2007. Today he
ran 3:50.38 and looks good for a few more years yet. Now 66, he's the second
youngest of the "survivors". The remaining Ranelagh finishers, so far as we
know, were all in the 4 hours bracket - Ian Grange, Jane Craigie-Payne,
Lewis Emery, Leeanne Bryce, Karima Graham and Peter Gatley. Well done to all
those who made it to the finish line, and if we have missed anyone please
let us know.
In the Mini-Marathon, Izzy Atkins and Sacha and Léonie Kennedy formed half
of the winning Richmond team in the Boroughs Under 13 race, with Izzy in
third place. Josie Kearey ran in the same race for Hounslow.

STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP RACE 1 Thursday 23rd April at the Hawker Centre
The Ranelagh juniors picked up where they left off last summer with a
convincing team win in the first race of Stragglers' junior handicap series.
There were 65 runners in the main event, 21 of them representing Ranelagh.
Those who have not run one of these races before are given a standard
handicap based on their age, and as this was the first race of the season it
was inevitable that there should be a lot of these first-timers. They
dominated the front of the field, including Ranelagh's Oscar Stewart 4th,
Isabelle Clarke 6th and Jonathan Read 8th. First-timers don't qualify for
the "First Lad" and "First Gal" medals, and we had to go right down to 11th
place for the First Lad. This was another Ranelagh, Nathaniel Bond. Another
14 finished before the official First Gal.
The fastest boy was unattached Edward Andrews, but his 8.18 was only good
for 62nd in the handicap. Several Ranelaghs were within half a minute or so
of that time, including Noah Heron-Brett, Jonathan Read, Daniel Rushby,
Jonny Brook and Luke Maguire, all well inside 9 minutes. Fastest girl was
Stragglers' Maisie Jensen on 8.53 but this was only 9 seconds clear of
Ranelagh's Frida Roper. Cara Hieker was also inside 10 minutes. In the Minis
race, Ben Rushby finished 3rd and was "First Lad".
Other first-timers included Molly Stewart, Connor Clarke, Afrah Sait and
Francesca Baty-Symes, while old hands included Charlie Brook, Sam Rushby,
Astrid Roper, Ciara McLaren, Oliver Beal, Matthew Beal and James Rushby.
Every one of the youngsters ran well and - we hope - enjoyed themselves. The
next event is on Thursday 21st May - see above for details.
