Beckenham conquer the 1066 Relay
Posted by Nolan in Everything Else on May 12th, 2011
Sunday May 8th Beckenham took part in the inaugural 1066 relay between Hastings and Rye and brought home enough silverware and prizes that a larger trophy cabinet is now needed at the club house! Beckenham won the overall mens team prize, mixed team, mens vets and ladies vets team prizes.
From the 1066 website: (photo’s added by me) Many congratulations to Beckenham Running Club men’s senior team, consisting of Ally Thorpe, Jim Addison, Marc Clayton, David Scrimshaw and Will Withecombe, who deservedly captured the Trailguides 1066 Relay Shield in a winning time of 3 hrs 38.31 mins, winning three of the individual stages.
The Overall winners Beckenham Senior Men...yeah!
Beckenham men’s vets team finished 2nd in 3 hrs 47.49 mins, with Dulwich Runners men’s vets 3rd in 3 hrs 56.49 mins.
2nd overall and 1st Mens Vets ..... Beckenham Vets... Double Yeah!
Dulwich Runners women’s seniors ,consisting of Kim Hainsworth, Alexie Shaw, Caroline Schurmann, Andrea Pickup and Mel Edwards, were the first ladies team, finishing 5th in 4 hrs 3.01 mins – they also provided three individual stage winners. Hastings Runners men’s vets were the first 1066 area team home in a highly creditable 7th place, just 4 mins behind the 4th placed team.
Beckenham also plundered the mixed team and women’s vets team trophies. (Unfortunately the Mixed team prize wasn’t given out to us at the time so there’s no photo of the victorious Beckenham mixed team)
1st Vet Ladies .... Beckenham! Treble Yeah!
Icklesham Casuals Football Club took the unaffiliated team trophy, finishing a very respectable 8th in what was a competitive field. The long distance trophy was a shoe-in for the Minnesota Loons, whose 4100 mile journey trumped more local opposition!
The feedback from the 39 participating teams has been extremely encouraging, and the 1066 Relay will definitely become an annual fixture from now on! Full results are now available on www.nice-work.org.uk , RACE SUMMARY as well as links to race photos and your comments. Thanks very much again to all the runners who took part, as well as the huge army of helpers who made the event possible. Nick Brown, race organiser.

Results are up for the Will Bolton Relay
Well done everyone. Great to get 5 teams out and to do well compared to last couple of years. Out of 54 teams the mens teams 7th (only beaten by Tonbridge A-D and BandB AandB) and 18th and 38th and the women’s teams 45th and 51st (9th and 14th out of 15 women’s teams).
Looking at the last couple of years each of, Chris L, Ben, Stuart, Gail, me all did a minute quicker than our last outing.
Edit: It should also be noted that mens A team beat a fair number of other clubs A teams, and also well done to Hazel and Rachel who lost their cross county cherry.
