We’ve closed the results on this year’s Bridges Relay which saw a dominant performance from Cottage Reunited winning the individual men’s and ladies’ prizes as well as the team events.  Congratulations to Malcolm Hicks as the fastest man in 11:14 and Katy Hedgethorne, the fastest lady in 13:02.  Congratulations also to Chris Smith and Bridin Keaerney who won the men’s and ladies’ vet categories.  The fastest corporate team was JP Morgan in the Open class and the Civil Service in the Ladies race.

The results can be found here.

The club put out a squad of Simon M, Matt M, Jeff C, Chris B, Andy C, Andy M, Gaby R, Bryn R, Karen E, Jack B, James W assisted by Andy C, Martin W and Greg S in this year’s relay.  The team came second in the mixed category with stage wins from Jeff, Andy, Gaby and Jack in dry warm to hot conditions.  As usual the relay had its friendly competitive atmosphere with its largest field ever.  The logistics and navigation was smooth with only a few bumps in the road.  Pictures of the race may be seen here.

The 2018 race will be held at 19:30 on 20 June 2018 on the Albert Embankment. See the invite here for more detail.
