HERSTMONCEUX CASTLE RELAYS 5th August
A tremendous performance from the senior men's team, coming 3rd out of a record field of
98 teams - the club's highest ever placing in the relays! A superb opening leg by Leo
Cacciatore (7.51) put the team in 3rd place, and they maintained this position with strong runs
from Patrick Bermingham (8.38), Jack Madden (8.13) and Matt Edmonds (7.46) on the
anchor leg. Combined time was 32.28. The 1.50mile legs are over a demanding course within
the grounds of this iconic castle; 50% off road, 50% tarmac paths.
The men's vets team (winners last year) were not at full strength, but performed very
creditably to finish runners-up just 1mins 38secs behind a very strong Hastings AC quartet.
Very encouraging runs by newcomer Darren Barzee (8.30) and Mike Beaumont, returning
from injury (8.11). Combined time 35.37; 17th overall. The senior men's B team also
performed very well, coming 21st in a time of 36.20 with Phil Scott's opening leg of 8.38 the
pick of the runs. We also fielded a Hastings parkrun team, who finished a creditable 82nd in a
time of 47.20 with 8yr old Phoebe Cote getting a rousing reception as she crossed the line on
the final leg!

However the real drama lay, as last year, in the battle for the HR mixed team trophy with no
fewer than 9 teams handicapped closely together competing for this. Just 23 secs separated
the first 6 teams after 6 undulating miles, and 81secs covered all 9 teams at the finish! A
strong opening leg by Riz Maslen (9.04) gave Team 3 a 30secs lead over the chasing pack.
However Gareth Hodges with the quickest 2nd leg (10.03) gave Team 9 a 12secs lead over
Team 3; with Team 2 a further 28secs back in 3rd. Scott Parsons extended Team 9's lead on
the 3rd leg (10.24) to 41secs; with Team 1 moving up from 5th to 2nd thanks to a fine leg by
Hannah Hayler (10.04); Team 3 now 22secs back in 3rd place. However setting off in an
unpromising 6th place, a fine anchor leg by Steve Uzzell (11.09) brought Team 7 victory
with just 5secs to spare from Team 2 for whom Martin Noakes (setting off in 9th place and
on his 2nd leg of the evening!) produced a superb run in 8.56 to finish 6secs clear of Elaine
Williams for Team 1 in 3rd.
1st Team 7; Martin Tytherleigh, Katie Arnold, Paul Warburton, Steve Uzzell ... 43.13
2nd Team 2; Mark James, Helen Brown, Henry Worthington, Martin Noakes ... 43.18
3rd Team 1; Simon Trevena, David Todd, Hannah Hayler, Elaine Williams ..... 43.24
Fastest men's times: Matt Edmonds 7.46; Leo Cacciatore 7.51; Mike Beaumont 8.11; Jack
Madden 8.13; Darren Barzee 8.30; Phil Scott 8.36; Patrick Bermingham 8.38; Martin Noakes
8.43 and 8.56
Fastest ladies times: Riz Maslen 9.04; Hannah Hayler 10.04; Melissa Bedwell 10.16; Helen
Brown 10.43; Rachael White 10.47; Carol Lowes 10.58.

A club record turnout of 103 runners took part in a memorable 5kms handicap race along the
seafront, with 96 runners finishing within 3mins of each other - the peak flow was 47 runners
within 60secs! Timekeepers Mary Chantler and Sue Hall did a sterling job in the
circumstances, backed up by cameraman Sam Harrison whose video footage has reached
viral proportions! The first runner to set off was Bob Claridge; Gary Foster was the last
runner away some 18mins 15secs later!
The first 10 runners were all ahead of the handicapper; none more so than the winner Julie
Beerling who finished 20secs ahead of runner-up Louise Coates - both ladies displaying race
form that hadn't been at all evident during the previous 12 months! 3rd finisher and 1st man
home was Steve Willis with a huge pb; the next 95 came in thick and fast with fine runs by
Sarah Hyland (4th); Henry Worthington (5th); Gary Lancaster (6th) and Arrianne Callow
(7th).

PHOTO: L/R Sarah Hyland, Hayley Ranson and Sue Palmer set off. Sarah assured the
handicapper Nick Brown beforehand that she and Hayley always finish their races together;
he is still looking for a credible explanation as to how she finished 4th and Hayley 82nd!

STANDARD CHARTERED GREAT CITY RACE, Thursday 9th July
Hastings Runners Martin Noakes and Riz Maslen formed part of a strong Career Legal mixed
team which won the legal section of this race for the 5th consecutive year. Nearly 6000
runners from over 500 companies took part in this iconic 5kms road race organised by
London Marathon, with the city's streets closed and passing many notable landmarks
including St. Pauls and the Bank of England. Riz also formed part of the Career Legal ladies
team (winners on 3 previous occasion) who finished 2nd behind HSBC. Individual results
were: Martin Noakes .......18.31 (143rd); Riz Maslen ...... 19.48 (301st)

MONDAY EVENING TRACK SESSIONS
These sessions are ideal for those wanting to improve their race times as track work will
improve your pace judgment; get you used to running hard when you are tired; and will
benefit you far more than the usual diet of steady/slow runs. Age and ability are immaterial
… you can all improve if you are prepared to put in some hard work, whether your target is to
run a sub 35mins or sub 65mins 10kms! The whole session including warm up and warm
down lasts 50 – 60 mins; during which time most runners will have only spent 15 – 20mins
running anaerobically (ie getting into oxygen debt). We are currently using a staggered start,
with everyone setting off at the same time but at various intervals dotted round the track. This
makes for some very tightly contested reps, and gives everyone an incentive. Meet 18.20pm
for 18.30pm prompt start at William Parker athletics track in Parkstone Road, Hastings;
parking close by in Park Avenue, off Park View. Cost £2pp which goes towards the club’s
hire costs. Nick Brown

Ladies Run in the Park Weds 19th August.
This is for ALL abilities. A lovely route in Alexandra Park approx 3 miles
Start 7pm at the cafe. I will be jogging down with ladies from Horntye at 6.30.
I am looking for marshals and traditionally the route has been covered by men. Are you able
to help? If so let me know. Many thanks Steph
Alternative 10k run/walk Saturday 19th September 10.30
This is in no way a snub at the Link road 10k race on the 20th but as it suggests an alternative
for those less enthused but the building of roads with dubious motives and also a celebration
of off road running in an area we cherish.
It is hoped that we will assemble at Upper Wilting Farm by kind permission of the Blackford
family and proceed to run or walk as near 10k as we can over a route yet to be determined.
There will be more detail as time goes on but for now if you would like to join us on this run
we are planning to ask for a donation of £5 in the hope we can raise some funds for the
Hospice fire fund. Now I know this will be the day before Rye to Hastings but this will be far
from a competitive race and I imagine most of us will just take it easy and enjoy hence the
opportunity to walk it as well. I will keep you posted as to progress. Tim Jury
Sunday 30th August Run for Africa Cherry Garden Farm Fairlight
Many of you will know that every year I hold the Ride for Africa which is a horse ride that
has attracted many horses and riders from all over the locality. A few years back I got to
thinking this would also make a fine run so anyone who would like to join the running group
they will be heading off just before the first horses go at 9am, it is not a race although one
could run it as such if you wanted. The route is clearly marked out but there are no
marshals. It is a 10 mile route through some very picturesque countryside over paths not
normally open to the public so why not come along and give it a try you can go as fast or
slow as you like many will be walking it anyway. All I ask is a £5 donation there are free
refreshments half way round and an opportunity to buy a burger or hot dog at the end. You
will be supporting a very worthy cause. Any questions? Call or text me on 07734282494

HASTINGS PARKRUN VOLUNTEERING IN SEPTEMBER
With a weekly average of 140 from the 17 events so far, no fewer than 123 Hastings Runners
have already taken part in the 5kms seafront run. And at the current rate of progress, we
should reach the 500 mark for new park runners who have registered at Hastings within the
next 2 - 3 weeks which is an amazing statistic!
Hastings Runners make up 80% of the marshals and volunteers each week, and there is no
doubt that without the club's input the parkrun would be difficult to sustain. I am going to be
away for much of September, during which period the organisation will be in the capable
hands of run directors Arrianne Callow and Anthony Gardner. However it would be
extremely helpful for them if I can organise the weekly volunteer roster for this period in
advance. For those of you who have done a few parkruns but haven't helped out yet, this
would be an ideal opportunity to give something back .... particularly as you probably won't
be running on the Saturdays in question as there are major local races on Sunday 13th and
Sunday 20th September.
So if you are available to assist on any of the following Saturdays .... 12th, 19th and
26th September .... please let me know. Full instructions are emailed out 3 - 4 days in
advance. You need to report in at 8.30am, and in most cases you will be finished by 9.30 9.45am. Many thanks, Nick Brown (event director). Email [email protected]
Dordrecht 10K & Half Marathon
There is a 10k and half marathon run in our Dutch twin town of Dordrecht on November 1st.
We have been offered free entry to the races and the possibility of being hosted with runners
although I can also recommend an inexpensive hotel.
The Dordrecht runners have always supported the Hastings Half Marathon and we have not
reciprocated the visit for a long while. There are also events for younger runners. You can see
the details at www.drechtstedenloop.nl if you can read Dutch, or you might be able to get a
translation via Google.
There is also some video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGSWnux8aEg ,although
this tends to concentrate on the front end of the half marathon.
I am assured that these events are open to fun runners as well as the serious athletes.
It would be great if we could get a group over there again and if we do I would suggest going
over on Friday Oct 30th so that the Saturday can be spend seeing Dordrecht and then returning
after the events on Sunday November 1st.
Please contact me for further details or to register your interest either by e mail or 01424 432258
or at Tuesday evening club gatherings.

Efforts Thursdays – 6-8 usually so worth doing.
Shearbarn Fridays – consistent turnout.
Sussex Grand Prix: Not much to say, results are up including Bewl. Not sure what will happen re the cancelled Bexhill 5k race
which is due to take place on the same day as Poppy Half Marathon ie both SGP events. HR ladies are doing well, now that 10
count towards scoring.
Hastings Half Marathon: Entries coming, all online now. 20th March 2016.

balance sheet for the event and answered queries. Discussion regarding UKA fees.
Hastings Parkruns: Nick reported these runs are going very well indeed. 120 or so HR have done at least one Parkrun. Matt has
won twice; Jonas also; Jack Madden and Leo also going well, as is Riz and Sylv has got a record age-grading for the local event.
Nick suggested a poster advertising HR for Parkrunners to see.
Social Media: Kim thanked Anthony for helping with the website. Paul has given a breakdown of Target Times Championship.
Newsletter should be out by this weekend. Facebook going strong – over 500 users. Kim has to filter out some requests for
membership which are really only interested in advertising. Anthony brought up an issue around Facebook users requesting
recommendations eg for sports physio, which can generate a lot of responses. The newsletter carries various adverts, including
physios.
