Run Derby Race Series

A bit of a low key year of running from me so it’s pleasing to report that for only the 3rd time in the history of the RunDerby series MAC feature in the series winners list due to my 8th place overall & 1st MV60 finish in the 2025 competition.

For those members unaware of the series it’s a 7 race contest in the Derby/Derbyshire area in which your 4 best results count, with an overall male & female 1-2-3 along with age cat’s & a club championship in which we finished 24th this year. Thanks to Gavin Elliott for joining me in the races I completed and the MAC’s who ran at Shelton & Wilne for boosting our score.

Thanks to a reasonable level of form in the late Spring/early Summer I managed to accrue a decent haul of points from the Carsington 7, Sinfin 5 & Smalley Bells 5 events to put me in a strong position. This was before that nearly got derailed at the Shelton Striders 10k after the post-Portugal bike tour gremlins hit the system . But all’s well that ends well and I managed to do a Lando & hang on for the win.
