RACE REPORTS 2026

A miserably wet evening after a miserably wet day didn’t deter 48 of the faithful conquering a very wet course and yet more wet stuff falling from the sky.

The gates were open so no problem there, however one group, who will remain nameless, couldn’t work out how to get through a kissing gate and climbed over it. The padlocked bit of the gate is for wheel chair access, the rest of the gate was open.

We had a few newbies who all did well although one of them thought 5m was minutes not metres. Luckily he didn’t think it was miles. Talking of luck, if the race had been last week a lot of the route would have been flooded. Maybe it will be again soon after yesterday.

Strangely the field was made up mainly of non local runners who came from all parts of the county. The winning men, Antony and David, however were locals. The winning ladies Keeley and Vicki were from t’up north (Witham way).

Thanks again to everyone at the Horse and Groom and of course we will return in May for the Galleywood Gallop.
