Northampton Half Marathon - Sunday September 14th

The race times were amazing, but disappointingly the course was deemed short in distance by almost .4 of a mile. Mark Conway led the quartet of Silson runners home, placing 29th in 1.22.55. Less than a minute behind and having a very good run, Chris Coghlan 1.23.37 finishing 33rd. In 153rd place was Paul Holmes timing 1.37.24. An improving Rob Pardon was pleased with his time 1.47.28 with a finishing position of 320th.

Midland Relays Sutton Park - Saturday September 20th

The wet and windy conditions were not ideal for relay running. However Silson took two ladies’ teams to tackle the undulating west midlands parkland course. Both teams were evenly matched crossing the line very close together. Silson A was Laura Torrance, Emma Chapple-Hyam, Hannah Torrance and Julie Ann Hammond. Silson B Issabelle Hodgson, Rachael Gardener, Sue Torrance and Eleanor Rees. Well done Silson Ladies a great effort in difficult conditions.

Rugby 10 Mile Road Race – Sunday September 28^th

Just the two Silson AC runners took on the last of the NRRL series at the notoriously undulating Rugby 10 Mile Road Race based at Barby Cricket Club. The race took place over the ‘new course’ but using much of the ‘traditional’ Rugby 10 course through Barby, Kilsby & Hillmorton, including the climb up ‘Cart Hill’. With Richard Popiel finishing 108^th in a time of 1:21:48, and Hannah Torrance 170^th in 1:47:30.
