We had a record turnout at our Ice Cream Relay and at one point it looked as though we'd have to turn some runners away, but fortunately we were saved by a First Aid Angel who flew in with a defibrillator meaning we were able to exceed the limit of 150 runners that EA now impose on races where one is not provided. A huge THANK YOU to those who made the race possible and to those who have promised to help us with this requirement next year.
We had team entries from a lot of local and not-so-local clubs this year, including runners representing Aberdare (our furthest-travelled club), Bath, Bitton, Bristol & West, Chepstow, Clevedon, Great Western Runners, Southville, Westbury and a sizeable cohort of Vegan Runners complete with plant-based team names.
Full results are attached and you can see how you did overall as well as in your specific category.
It was also great to have lots of runners on hand to cheer the winners of our 3-race series (you can view those if you go to https://uk.srichinmoyraces.org/races/bristol/previous-results/2024#node-... and then scroll down to the 3 sets of results - Mens/Womens and the Club Competition).
This year honours went to Bristol & West for the men & boys and GWR for the women & girls.
We're hoping to be back next summer with another series of race on our home turf, the Sri Chinmoy Peace Mile, and as ever we are always aiming to improve our events so please get in touch if you have ideas, suggestions or requests.
Our race season isn't quite over yet as we still have a SBR-Mini DUATHLON in September - if you have never tried multi-sport, this event could be for you as it's run-bike-run with a choice of distances including 1k - 5k - 1k for those who want to give it a go but aren't confident on a longer distance. Any (roadworthy) bike is fine to use, even an e-bike if you can take the battery out and make it self-powered. Yes, we will check that :) https://uk.srichinmoyraces.org/self-transcendence-go-tri-bike-run-tockin...
Thanks to everyone who made the races possible, by running / volunteering or just coming along to support their friends or family members who were running.
