Trinidad
Severn Bridge 10km
From Simon: Nikki and I wore the Yeovil vest with pride today in the Severn Bridge 10km run as a time trial rather than with a mass start. Inspired by glorious weather we both secured P.B's proving that you should never give up hope of improving. Nikki's time of 44.13 was a 4 second P.B whilst the old boy managed a 19 second improvement with 45.11. All the plaudits however should go to the race organisers who put on a fantastic event & this after they were forced to move race HQ from Wales to England with 7 days notice & get the course remeasured & certified within the week. Just shows what can be done when there is a determination to make something happen; it would have been so easy to cancel. 730 runners appreciated their efforts and that of all the Marshall's.

Slam Hats
Well done to everyone who has been running during the lockdown and strange times. The time is now getting extremely close to submit your races - real or virtual - to claim your 2020 Slam Hat. There are still a few possible races which are:
10k - Battle of Sedgemoor - 30th August
5 mile - Baltonsborough (Kevin Doherty is giving out 'medals' for this too) - 31st August
Half marathon - Bridgwater - 6th September
5k - Yeovilton - 9th September
5 mile - Ash - 13th September
The above can be run on a route of your choosing and can be run within 3 days of the date shown.
Also, I know and I am guessing some members will be running the London Virtual on 4th October. Provided you let me know that this is the case when you submit your other races/runs this will count towards your Grand/Ultra Slam Hat.
Please submit your information as soon as possible, and by the 16th September at the very very latest as dependent upon the number of Hats claimed the Committee will then decide whether there is enough money in the bank to pay for them (due to no income this year) or whether a contribution from you will have to be made.
