Winning Female 8 team - Endure 24 2015

Winning Female 8 team – Endure 24 2015

On Saturday and Sunday, eight NAC members competed in the ‘6-8 mixed’ category at Endure 24, the annual ‘Glastonbury For Runners’ held on Wasing Estate, Aldermaston.  All the team gave it their absolute best, which resulted in the team (‘Eat Sleep Run Repeat – Newbury AC’) finishing 8th out of 159 in their category.  Although everyone excelled themselves and showed true club spirit, special  mention must go to Sophie Crumley who gamely turned out despite being ill the previous week to run some fine laps for the team but was unfortunately unable to be present at the end.

Chloe Blair and her sister Emma Coxhead finished 2nd in the Female pairs category – completing 21 x 5 mile laps. There is still time to add to their fund-raising effort for the Royal Berks & West Berks Community Hospitals –  through their Justgiving page

Tim Davies and Dan Reeves competed in the solo event completing 14 and 10 of the 5 mile laps respectively.

E-J Bailey’s team , One direction, comprising E-J, Sue Van Huyssteen, Rachel Allen, Claire Quinn, Nina Martin, Sarah Fowler plus Andrea Greenfield and Harriet Knowles won the Female 8 team category ( out of 31 teams) running 36 laps and finishing 2 laps ahead of the second placed team
