Club Championships

Full “first claim” club members can participate in our annual Mens and Ladies Club competition and the Larry Dando Memorial Championship. Larry was an active member of the club until his tragic untimely death in 2013. With a passion for running, triathlon and ‘Scrumpy Jack’ cider, he was recognisable by his big smile, fulfilling his ambition of running the London Marathon in 2012 via our club place.

The Club Championship allows athletes to compete with their club mates for points. Running from April to March, members are encouraged to participate in a selection of local races and club time trials over various distances and terrain.

 

For 2026/7, we will include a number of Wiltshire Road Race League fixtures, as well as some Somer Sizzlers - events that feature races for Juniors, Youth and Senior sections so we can be a wall of black and yellow!  This years’ race list (May to Sep - races from Oct 2026 onwards subject to confirmation) is:​
