Greetings Sports Fans,
I just wanted to share the following result. Darlington Up&Running's and New Maske Harrier 1500m - Andrew Wiles has just cracked 30 mins for 10k at Ribble Valley today (report sent 27th December 2011),
Racing against a top class field that included Alistair Brownlee{2nd}, club mate Ricky Stephenson{3rd} and Jonny Melor{1st} - Andrew placed 5th on a very challenging and somewhat lumpy course in a excellent 29:46 - Smashing his old 10K PB by 70 seconds! Andrew said today that he is "very happy to be over his back injury" that has been plaguing him for 4 week and is "very keen to get back on cross country scene this winter".
Epic racing Andrew, keep up the excellent work !
Mic and all at U&R

Up & Running 10km - Race Report
There were 223 entries for the first ever Up & Running 10km held in Milton Keynes on Sunday 11th December. Excellent running conditions, not too cold and overcast. The course started by Gullivers World and ran along the Grand Union Canal, around part of Willen Lake and after a gradual climb between 6.5 and 8km there was the relief of a long downhill through the beautiful Campbell Park. The first runner home, Fabian Downs of Chiltern Harriers led from the start and finished the course in 34.52 with Oliver Langford second in 36.28 and Matthew Leach third in 36.54. The first lady to finish was Liza Williams in 44.38 and the first veteran runner home was Richard Amery in 9th Place.
The two winners received a voucher each to the value of £85, donated by Up & Running, and the other prize winners each received an Up & Running voucher. All the marshals on the course were supplied by the Boxfit club, from Luton, who were very supportive to the runners and all finishers received an Up & Running goody bag at the finish. Many of the runners have since commented on how much they had enjoyed the run.
Phil said "My wife and i took part in the first Up and Running 10km run yesterday, it was an excellent event, and very well organised".
Regards
Gerry
