starting at 9am. We need every runner we can get. If you’re running a
parkrun that day, try to make it the Bushy one. Coffee and croissant on
Stragglers afterwards at the Tiltyard Cafe. In case you haven’t taken part
in a Bushy parkrun before, here are the details:. Make sure you are registered as Ranelagh

COAD CUP 5miles SUMMER HANDICAP Tuesday 9th July in Richmond Park starting
at 7.15pm
For one week only you are excused normal Tuesday night training in favour of
the 5 miles summer handicap in the Park! Of course it’s not compulsory but
we hope most Tuesday nighters will give it a go. To help your hard-working
officials get everybody registered in a timely manner you can help in two
ways.
First – arrive at the clubhouse a little earlier than usual.
Second – pre-register at doodle.com/poll/wnc452vsdtpspee8. If you
think you will run it will help enormously if you pre-register. It doesn’t
commit you to run, and you can still take part even if you haven’t
pre-registered, but we hope it will speed things up and enable us to get the
race underway more quickly.
WIMBLEDON COMMON TRAIL RUNS
These are Andy Bickerstaff’s annual promotions on Wimbledon Common. The
first two have been run, the remaining race is an 8-miler taking place on
Wednesday 3rd July, It starts from the Windmill at 7pm. Details and entries:.

DORKING 10 miles Sunday 2nd June
As usual it was a sultry humid day for the Dorking 10, and the conditions
left a trail of bodies by the wayside. Amongst the drop-outs was former
winner Phil Wickes of Belgrave, who had built up a 100m lead in the first
mile but was out of the race by half way. Wickes’s departure left the race
as a fight between Foster of Guildford and Watson of Heanor. Foster proved
the stronger in the tough closing stages but Watson had the consolation of
taking the British Masters title.
First home for Ranelagh and winner of the club 10 miles championship was
Jordan Mungovan who finished with a sprint of Bolt-like speed up the home
straight. Only seconds behind came Nick Twomey, then Chris Bundhun and
Jonathan Smith. Leading our women once again was Laura Blazey – club women’s
10 miles champ - ahead of Becky Northmore and Wiebke Kortum.

STRAGGLERS / RANELAGH JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES RACE 3 Thursday 6th June at
