Community at heart awards 2020
Broadland District Councils Community at Hearts Awards
Norwich Road Runners has a number of top class female runners but I am sure that all would agree that our Mandy Foyster is the club's most loved and admired female runner. Not just for her amazing achievements in Ultra Distance running but also for her love and compassion for both people and animals. However we all know that she has a very soft spot for sheep! She has been instrumental in raising money the Mirkwood Rest Home for Retired Sheep.

Recently Mandy was nominated for a category in the Broadland District Council's Community at Hearts award ( See section below) and we are delighted to advise that she won the 'Sporting Achievement of the Year award' for entering and finishing the Spine Race. Well done, Mandy, you continue tio inspire us all

Chris Harrison's Report
Evening runners!
It’s the end of September and the end of the virtual Round Norfolk Relay - this evening I submitted my teams timesheet which I also wanted to share with you all.
They have all performed superbly and it was fantastic to have 2 of the juniors be involved with this team too - future looks good for the club!
Some achieved new ‘unofficial’ PB’s, some threw themselves across the virtual ‘line’ and some logged times that they didn’t think would be possible. The total time combined is very impressive.
Thanks to them for getting involved - despite leaving me sweating as some ran as late as today!
Well done all of you that ran and represented - let’s hope we can do it again for real next year

Ben Kendall's Report
The results for Team Mintcake (formerly known as Team 1) in the Round Norfolk Relay have been collated and submitted. Here they are if you're interested. Spoiler alert: we didn't quite beat the Group A team.
Still some great running all round, especially as a lot of us aren't doing as much as we normally would. You've all been great at supporting each other and hopefully it's helped us feel more like a club, even though we can't physically meet en masse.
Well done to everybody involved and thanks for making it so much fun.
