Gallop 2011

EVERARDS Gaddesby Gallop Results  – 17th December 2011

The return of the Gaddesby Gallop after a three year break saw the setting of a new course record time of 30 minutes 4 seconds by Wigston Phoenix runner Mark Powell for the five and a quarter mile cross country course.  This beat the previous record (set in the first year on a shorter course) by 1 minute 10 seconds.

The conditions on the day were cold and dry and the previous weeks had been largely rain free. Runners tackled both the obstacles on the course – the drainage pipe and the run along the Gaddesby Brook.  The dew pond was omitted this year as it was still dried up.

Results

Men

  1. Mark Powell (Wigston Phoenix) (30.04)
  2. Nathaniel Walker (31.30)
  3. Matt Poynton (Wreake Runners) 32.30

Women

  1. Zoe Smith(Rutland Runners) 37.58
  2. Sally Newman (Wreake Runners) same time.
  3. Amanda Hannah (Stamford Striders) 40.48.

First local runner back was 14 year old Sam Geeson winning the Men’s trophy in a time of 48.17. The first local lady was Justine Hunt in 54.38 who battled her way through the field after recovering from a fall in the early stages of the race.

It was a true local event with over 30 villagers braving the cold to successfully help organise and marshal the event without incident.  The presentation was held afterwards at the Cheney Arms who kindly donated raffle prizes and provided the much needed refreshments after the race.

The intention is to return this to an annual event after the fantastic support received on the day.
