Torchlight 5K Dec 2013 Results and Photos

Santa's Dash at Torchlit 5k
Sixty runners, a healthy array of much appreciated helpers, a clear night and a shed load of Santa hats guaranteed a most enjoyable gathering for the Xmas edition of the Torchlit Tip 5k.

With the odd black stray dog adding to the obvious hazards of darkness, Ben Johnson was prepared for all eventualities to finish in a most impressive 17:38 with Clare Constable the first lady home in 19:54 which we believe is a personal best.

There were many unfamiliar faces, newcomers to the event as well as the dedicated stalwarts all enjoying a great social evening with mementos to take away.

Huge thanks to everyone who took part or helped out in any way and look forward to the January edition which has been provisionally earmarked for Wednesday 22nd January 2014

Results below, photos to follow.

Torchlight 5K Wed 11th December 7 pm

Torchlight 5k  -  Wednesday 11th December  -  7pm start

Seasonal festivities begin early for those participating in the second Torchlight Tip run on 11th December.

It is hoped the “bumper attendance” of the November gathering will be surpassed, heightened by the added festive features and quality memento to the first 50 finishers. (Not bad for a free event!)

Clear, dry, calm conditions are probably too much to hope for, but don’t be deterred!  This “run at your own peril” and “shout out your number” offering has a great atmosphere and is a spectacle not to be overlooked.

Any non-running helpers would be most welcome, diminishing number of head torches are available to borrow on the night.

Don’t miss it!!
