Runners of the Month, 2012
Every 4-6 weeks or so the committee nominate one or two Runners of the Month – these are people who we feel have worked hard and improved in some way, whether that is by running their first 5K, coming back from injury or completing a longer event in an exceptional time.
John Galpin - Runner of the Month, December 2012
John (aka Spiderman) has been very helpful to others in the club, sacrificing his own times in races to help others achieve theirs. He has taken on the role of ‘personal trainer’ to some and is always willing to give advice and to help out with sweeping at the back of the group on club nights.
