The Relays were first held in 1988 – hence this was the 22nd annual edition, and the 15th time the race has been held in Sutton Park. Previous venues:
1988: Tring
1990, 1994 and 1998: Rushmoor Arena, Aldershot
1992: Dunsfold
1996 and 2000: Heaton Park, Manchester
1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001-09: Sutton Park, Birmingham
When first held in 1988, the Relays had just four events – M40, M50, M60 and Ladies.
In 1995, separate F35 and F45 races were held for the first time.
In 1999, F55 and M70 races were added.
In 2006, an M35 race was added (make of that what you will!)
Croupiers medal-winning teams have been:
1988: Ladies: Sue Neal, Sonya Moore, Edwina Turner, Ruth Collishaw - SILVER
1997: F35: Wendy Edwards, Julie Scholey, Edwina Turner – GOLD
1998: F35: Wendy Edwards, Liz Clarke, Edwina Turner – BRONZE
1999: F35: Glenda Edwards, Wendy Edwards, Edwina Turner – GOLD
2001: F55: Annie Conroy, Clare Johnson, Ruth Collishaw – SILVER
2003: F55: Annie Conroy, Clare Johnson, Ruth Collishaw – BRONZE
2005: F55: Annie Conroy, Clare Johnson, Ruth Collishaw – BRONZE
2006: F45: Veronica Singleton, Julie Scholey, Jane Coker – BRONZE
2006: F55: Sue Neal, Clare Johnson, Ann James – SILVER
2008: F55: Edwina Turner, Sue Neal, Ann James - SILVER
Comparisons between different years and venues may not be meaningful, however, the current course of three miles exactly at Sutton Park was established in 1999. According to my records, our fastest individual male performer has been Richie Bullen 15:19 (2001), and fastest female is jointly held by Wendy Edwards and Edwina Turner with 17:53 (1999)

The Club's very own Jeff Aston has been interviewed by Runner's World (again?) on his membership of this very exclusive Club. As Jeff says "There are 42 of us in 1995; last year there were only 21."
So click on the thumbnail for an illegal copy of Jeff's interview. For the other Ever Present interviewees I suggest you do the usual and stand in W H Smith's reference library or if you're feeling flush; and this may be shocking to some of you, buy a copy.

those returning from what was only the 2nd ever London Marathon. In that year 198 went under 2:30. (1.3% of the field, last year there were 54 around 0.1%)
Those too were the early days of Mel's travel agency, in this case Paris 20k for £65. A pair of tracksters were a mere £6.25.

I'm surprised that Mick has not placed a post reminding you of this epic event this Sunday.
The Barry 40 stories are legend as is Mick's comentary. So pop over to Barry's Jenner Park for a day of fun filled frolics following frustrated fools flayling in flip flops facing the formidible Forty. Barry also boasts limitless sunshine, ample parking and even a Waitrose.
More background on the race can be found on the Barry 40 wing of the site.
