Gives
Bingley the
honours in
W55
Only one team contested the W65 race and Barnet and
District became only the second team to finish and their
79:34 was a record and new to the age group Karen
Faloon, set a clear record with her individual 22:39.
Personal comment
I’ve been attending National Vets/Masters Relays for close
on 20 years, and it’s always a great event, but is it time for
some tweaking to make it better?
The unpopular male age group changes which saw the
demise of the long standing M50 and M60 races to be
replaced by M55 and M65 categories are probably not
going to be changed
However, despite more teams doing the M35s, numbers
are still well below when the M40 event was at its peak.
My suggestions
1 Equality for men and women. Make the race four
legs for M35/W35, three for the rest.
2 Allow clubs to have a B team – this would increase
teams competing but take the pressure of those
clubs who pull out because they can’t find eight fit
veterans!
3 With each race now taking less than 90 minutes,
there could be three events and start times at 11am,
12.30 and 2pm.
4 To reduce crowding at start and enable runners
(and crowds and photographers) to see their
opposition more clearly, have older age groups set off
a minute (or 5 minutes behind) i.e. race 1 W35 at
11am, W45/W55 at 11.05 on race 2 M55 at 12.30, M65
at 12.35 and on race 3, M35 at 2.00 and M45 at 2.05.
With computerised results and a clear numbering
system, it should be easy to sort results post-race.
