It was a weekend for the off roaders with the Round Mersea Island race, the Chrishall trail and the Midsummer Madness fell weekend.

Nikki Brockbank ran to her first ever race win and was joined by Catherine Hull and Lynn Tanner in the winning team. Lynn also took the FV55 prize. Stu Putt led the men home in an excellent 6^th place.

Jamie Woodyard finished second at Chrishall on a trail hosted by Saffron Striders. Sue Clarke was the first Strider lady.

At the Calder Valley Midsummer Madness weekend, club captain, Anthony Marsh finished an impressive 9^th overall and was well pleased with his runs at the Wicken Hill Whizz, the Reservoir Bogs and the Tom Tittiman races. John Williams even managed an orienteering event at Harrogate as well. Janet Hill took two individual FV55 prizes and of course the overall. A superb weekend of running, eating, drinking and lovely weather was enjoyed by ten Striders. Well worth putting in your calendar for next year.
