SKEGNESS AND DISCTRICT RUNNING CLUB AWARDS


What a FANTASTIC night! Oh it had it all...laughs, quizzes, awards, suits, music, karaoke, photo boots and the best of friends!!! Thank you all so much for a wonderful night and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our wonderful winners (keep an eye on the news report for the winners, published tomorrow). All worthy winners I think we can agree!


We have to thank Helena and her team for putting on an incredible night, for Shaun our wonderful chairman for hosting the evening, Andy for organising our awards, James for organising our AaGa and Race League and most importantly....for our members...as without them, we wouldn't have such a fantastic club. Thank You!!! What a way to end the year :D



Our A W A R D W I N N E R S....

     The Winner is Kate Carpenter: A PB Half marathon sub 2 hours 1:56:59. A PB 10km in 51:47 and a sub 25 minute PB for a 5km. Improving in every single race distance throughout the year! 


Most Improved Male:

     The Winner is Phillip Prowse: Through hard work and dedication, his running continues to improve every week with PBs at 5k, 10km and Half Marathon. Phillip regularly attends events and its great to watch where his next achievement will be.


Golden Oldie:

     The Winner is Mark Sands:  Mark has re-focussed his goals and trains as hard as anyone. Validated by his recent sub 3 marathon. Mark Shows what hard work and determination does when you put your heart into it.


Race Performance of the Year:

     The winner is Lee Mullen: Lee ran at London Marathon with a club record of 2:32:16. The fastest time for someone running under SADRC. Showing pure athletic strength and determination.


Outstanding Achievement:

     The Winner is Louise Darrington: Equinox performance in running 12 laps, 74.5 miles in 24 hours. 12 laps which is even more special when factoring in the weather and horrendous conditions. Louise showed spirit, strength and incredible fearlessness. 


Spirit of the Club:

     The winner is Helena Shelton:  Helena spurs everyone on from her C25K course upwards. Her words of encouragement on the club page. Seeing people back from injury with her build up runs and messages of encouragement.


Club Person of the Year:

     The winner is Andy Shelton: From running club nights at Skegness to attending Spilsby . He’s come back from injury and encourages others. When Boating lake parkrun was no longer again this year Andy worked in his own time to find another improved route for SADRC and the community.
