Andy Rich reports…. DNF, did not finish. That’s a tough thing to see next to your name and it’s only happened to me once before. I’ve come close a few times like at the Belfast marathon where I conked out and started walking only for most of the pub opposite to cheer/jeer me back on…
A strong contingent of Cheddar runners took on the Clevedon 10k on the evening of Tuesday 14th June. The event attracted many of the fast runners from Bristol, Somerset and surrounding areas this year. It was a blustery evening and a little overcast. Luckily the recent warm temperatures had dropped a little. The route started…
On Thursday 9th June, Cheddar Running Club held a social evening at the Bath Arms in Cheddar to present three local charities with cheques for £535 each.

Andy W reports…. The Ox Marathon was my 2nd ‘official’ marathon this year and the 2nd this year run by White Star Running (need I say more about how much I value their races!) It was a very misty morning and when the sun broke through it was hot, but there was a fresh feel…
Andy H reports…. The Neolithic Marathon starts at Avebury in Wiltshire and ends up near Stonehenge. About 200 people run the marathon and it’s a very friendly and relaxed event; it doesn’t really feel like a race. This was fourth or fifth time I have ran it and can honestly say I have enjoyed it…
Rachel reports… Just a quick report on the Bridgwater Bolt 10k which took place on Sunday 17th April. At the beginning of the year I set myself a few PB targets, the 10k being one of them. So I decided to start the 10k summer season off with the Bridgwater Bolt. Being a 10am start, Sarah…

Hi CRC… Being new to the club I thought it would be good to do a quick intro to myself….after playing rugby for 25 years I decided that I should gracefully ‘retire’ and started to look for my next physical challenge…so I turned to triathlon! I recently spent three years living in Australia where I…
