Tuesday night saw six people from the club head over to the Open University in MK for the final race in the East Midlands Grand Prix Series and the Milton Keynes 10K. This is a flat fast course around the redways that heads up to Willen Lake and back.

Fred Watt and Pete Mackrell were doing there 7th race of the series and a good performance from Pete would earn him a top eight finish overall and a prize to go with it. Fred was standing in third place in the V60 category, but really good run could see him gain second. Overall results were taken on the best five positions of the series. read more

Saturday 23^rd June saw the 25^th running of Greensand Ridge Relay. The race is run over six legs and 34 miles from Waterside Park in Leighton Buzzard to the village of Northill near Sandy. Most of the route is off-road and unmarshalled so you have to know where you are going, otherwise rely on signposts and navigation.

For the first time this year there were forty teams permitted to enter and it was still oversubscribed. We had four teams taking part with a ladies team, two senior men's teams and a bunch of old boys. read more

In clearing out his cupboards before moving house recently, long standing member Dave Crawley came across some old records, one of which was the the Hatch End 5 results from 1982!

In that race LBAC had six people running under 28 minutes, including club vice president Geoff Roe and former club captain, secretary, chairman and now triathlon club member Steve Goodlad. However, the most notable point was that first home for the club was Dave Walsh, whose 24:52 is actually a club record. These days there are not many people in the club who can run one 4:58 mile, let alone 5 back to back! read more
