Wednesday 1st August saw seven BRT Juniors turn out for this year's Herstmonceux Relays on a beautiful, warm evening. This very popular and friendly event, organised annually by Hailsham Harriers, saw runners in teams of four each cover a distance of 1.5 miles over a multi-terrain course against the stunning back drop of the Castle and moat. 

The Juniors competed as equals not only against the four BRT Adult teams but other East Sussex clubs too. The Junior teams were made up of Boys: Ferdi Ibrahim, Hector Evett, Luca Hunter and Max Phipps; and Girls: Hope Sankey, Lucy Boreham and Ruby Phipps. Special mention must be made of Hope Sankey who ran both the first and the fourth leg of the relay after a last minute hitch meant the fourth girl was unable to attend.

Individual times were: Boys Ferdi 10.19; Hector 10.39; Luca 11.34; Max 10,39 with an overall time of 43.11.   Girls Hope 10.39; Lucy 10.56; Ruby 11.11; Hope 10.27 with an overall time of 43.13.​

Many congratulations to Hannah Frais who clocked a new pb time in last Saturday's Hastings Parkrun 5km.  Hannah's time was a fab 25:14!

Lovely photo of the Juniors after their Saturday training session. Happy feet!

The final results are in for the ESSCCL series and brt had no less than 4 age group winners in the Junior section! The trophies were won by Lucy Boreham, Hannah Frais, Ferdi Ibrahim and Mark Griffin.
Unfortunately the last race coincided with our own club junior and 5km races so the juniors were unable to attend the ceremony. However the adult members who rushed over to Pett to run after running the Bexhill race were able to pick up the trophies on their behalf.
The club gained a string of 2nd & third places too.  Well done to all the juniors who ran the series. ​Take a look at the overall results here.

​Meanwhile at the Alex Hall Memorial Run Sam Gillam went the whole distance and clocked a great time of 25:22 for 5km. Mark Griffin had to pull out due to injury-rest up Mark there will be lots of other chances!
