Uts Run Club

Another great weekend for UTS Runners
Neil Beckett tackled the delightful Rhyl Half Marathon on Sunday morning whilst Phillip Stanley faced the Penny Lane Striders 10k over in Liverpool. Both members doing a fantastic job.
Well done on representing the club so well.
... On Friday night we had a team out at Tattenhall for the tough team event.
The UTS tribe comprised of Andrew Peter, Ann Costello, Jo Irvin, Nadine Weeks, Lizzie Mahon and Paul Holmes.
We had two team racing but special mention must go to our ladies team consisting of Nadine, Jo & Lizzie who finished in 1st place. What an amazing achievement.
On top of this we also had two members Matt Goodwin & Zoe Crisp running for their 2nd claim club.
UTS Runners results are just mind blowing and a testament to the hard work that all members put in during our sessions. We love to see the improvements that are consistently made.
Well done. Fantastic effort by all 👏👏👏

The club had a fantastic turnout at this weekends Port Sunlight race. This is a great local event that offers both 5k and 10k options around the beautiful Victorian village. Both routes loop throughout the village offering excellent spectating spots to encourage friends and family on.

On Saturday, Nadine Weeks, Jo Irvin and Paul Holmes took on the hills of Dolgellau in the Salomon Trail Wales Half Marathon. This is a brilliantly organised event in a spectacular setting. The course offers a range of climbs and technical down hill sections along with the infamous "Sting in the Tail". Jo finished the race in just over 2.00 hours with Nadine shortly behind and Paul finishing in 2.11. It's definitely a race to put on your wishlist.
