2023 Road League and Road Relays update

A quick catch up to see how we are doing in the local South Yorkshire Road League and the 12 stage Northern Road Relays:
Barry said “Fabulous team effort today. Club should be well proud of your performances. Special mention to Steve Fox, he was the 12th man and without him there would not have been a complete team. Well done Steve”
Peter said “Well done to all of the athletes who competed in the Northern relays yesterday. There were some amazing performances with the team finishing 17th after being placed as high as 10th at one point. Special thanks to Martin James and Steve Fox who agreed to step in with a few days notice and ran their best 5k’s of the year in the worst of the conditions. I have just received an email to confirm that the club has qualified for the national 12 stage relays in Birmingham so a great achievement.”
All the athletes had great runs and were greatful for our team managers and of course the race officals. We were delighted to finish 17th team and it was great to see our team mates who are away at uni.

We even managed to get a complete team photo

The second event was at everyones favourite venue, Lodge Moor on 5 April. Probably the hilliest 5 mile road race in the area. Another great turnout for DAC and great performances all.
Chris Cull has been at all the road league races taking photos of all runners, thanks Chris!
