Parkrun 31st December?
Does anyone know if the 31st Dec Parkrun event in the diary is really happening? There doesn't appear to be any official info on the Parkrun website. Those of us who weren't fortunate enough to get hold of an Ely 10K place are keen to record our best ever Parkrun finish positions ;-)

C&C Boxing Day Run
Sixty-five C&Cers, friends and relatives put down their forks for an hour or so to battle for the honours in our annual four-miler from Lammas Land to Trumpington and back. Best able to cope with the demands of the festive season was superstar triathlete Will Clarke, guesting these days, whose 19:39 won the day by almost a third of a mile. Crikey! Our current elites were headed by the excellent Will Mycroft, with Jonathan Escalante-Phillips rounding out the podium places, and Al Pritchard and John Baslington close behind. First female was under-fifteen star Alice Newcombe, clocking 24:42. Carla Brown gave her a real battle, and in-form Clare Garvey took a fine third place.
There were numerous other fine performances to defy the universal gluttony, so check out the full results for details, and look out for the photos when published.

Dressing up for the Hunts AC Frostbite
Hope everyone who's doing the Frostbite tomorrow is going to dress up all 'Christmasy' with me. If not I'm just going to look really stupid!

Hinchingbrooke Park Frostbite, 16 December, 11:00am
It's the Huntingdon round of the Frostbite series tomorrow. I have a couple of requests.
First, I've had a couple of requests for spare vests from ladies who haven't yet received theirs. If you are not going to run or you have a spare ladies' vest, please let me know.
Second, I'd quite like to run tomorrow. If you're injured or don't want to run but are going to be there anyway, please think about helping me out by collecting the numbers from runners as they finish.
Finally, note that there is limited parking available at Hinchingbrooke Country Park. We have received advice to park instead in Hinchingbrooke Business Estate (off the A14 at the Spittals interchange and first left by the hotel; postcode for sat-nag is PE29 6FL). Parking at the Country Park is limited and once the car parks are full it's quite a trek to drive back round to the Business Estate so
it's much better to go directly there.
