A marvellous 52 Eynsham Roadrunners braved the monsoon at Charlton, out of 408 finishers overall.
Well done to Hannah for finishing 4th in the ladies' race, in what is the fastest time at Charlton by an ERR lady (our records go back as far as 2001), and also to Mark for finishing 9th in the men's race, with the 2nd fastest time by an ERR man at Charlton.
The positions given are those from the separate men's and women's races.

Almost too many great performances to mention at the White Horse Half. Special mention has to go to Hannan for beating an 11-year-old club record by over 2 minutes, but well done to everyone who made their debut over the distance or set a PB, some of which were by large margins.
As if that wasn't enough, the ERR ladies were 3rd in the overall team competition, and 3rd in the County Championship team competition.
No points are shown for the Short League competitors, as these can change over the course of the year, but they have been added to the current league standings.

Some excellent ERR performances at an unseasonably warm (but just as hilly) Banbury.
Well done to all the category prize winners, even if Katherine didn't actually win a prize for hers.

Excellent performances in the final round by both the ERR men and women meant that the women finished top of Division 3 overall, while the mean were 2nd in Division 2, and should hopefully mean that both are promoted next season (best not celebrate until it's official).
Particularly noteworthy were another top 10 finish for Hannah and a very strong debut from Mark Baker.
110 women finished, and 199 men.

Pride of place has to go to Hannah for her 4th place in the ladies' race, which is the highest individual placing any of us can remember for an Eynsham runner.
Elsewhere, both the ERR men and women maintained their promotion push, with the women finishing 2nd on the day in Division 3, to still be top overall, and the men finishing top of Division 2 on the day, thus narrowing the gap to Witney for the top spot for the series.
121 finished the ladies' race, and 225 finished the men's.
Update (3/2): Elaine played her joker.

Well done to Simon for leading the ERR folk home on the day, which also clinched the Senior Men's title for the year.
Any unplayed jokers were played in this, the last event of the year. This only applied to Mark C, and wasn't quite enough to wrest the MV50 category prize from Tony, although morally the title was his, apparently.

Another excellent performance from ERR at a relatively mild and strangely dry Culham, and welcome to Matt who made his debut in what looked a very competitive cateogory.
The ERR ladies finished top of Division 3 on the day to consolidate their lead for the season so far, while the men finished top (yes, top) of Division 2 on the day, to stand 2nd for the season.
There were 162 women finishers and 263 men.

With so many club members taking part and producing special performances, it seems only fair to capture them all on a single page. If I've missed anyone's PBs, or if it was your debut 10k, please let me know and I'll add these details.

Thanks to everyone who turned out and ran or helped with a very enjoyable Sunday morning in and around the woods.
Ben certainly deserved to win the long race, as he managed to go the wrong way twice.
David and Nigel were recorded for the short race, but actually did the long one, so a highly scientific 2 minutes have been added to their times.
Well done to Matt for what is a pretty outstanding time on the shorter event.
