A gallant effort by Chris Wingham saw him finish in 12th place - ahead of Roy Long in the Christmas 10k but Roy kept his rival in his sights and finished one place behind. The result ensured that Roy kept the Series title for another year.
Jud Kirk remained in third place with 112 points and Graham Lenton 4th on 129 points.
Alastair Pickburn finshed the Series with a flourish - he was 14th in the Christmas 10K just behind Chris and Roy. Watch out for him next year!

Sandra Hewson (500 points) stepped up her game and finished ahead of Noreen Henderson (514 pts) in the Christmas 10k to take the Ladies title. The pressure was on Sandra as Noreen has finished ahead of her in the previous two races. Di Buckley (546 pts) finished the Series in third place as she was unable to make up ground on her two rivals.
With no Heidi Ramsier, Kristina Byrne (664 pts) finished the Series in 4th place - another one to watch out for next year.

Awarded race no. 90 for the Series and now in his 91st year, Bruce Davidson completed all the races this year. Well done Bruce and everyone who completed the Series.

We are sorry about the delay in publishing the results. It was discovered that there were two finishers in the Christmas 10k with the same race number. Fearing that it was a printing error, the results could have been thrown into total confusion. However, on investigation, it appears that one despicable runner copied another's number to use in the race!
All the races support charities and good causes - avoiding their entrance fee cheats those hard working fundraisers.
Congratulations to the winners and everyone who took part in the Series - making it another memorable year.

Each competitor is awarded a point in accordance with their finishing position in each race. For example, the race winner will receive one point and the runner who finishes 100th will get 100 points. The runner with the least points accumilated over the whole series will be the overall winner. To qualify, runners must complete all 5 races. In the event of a tie, the committee will decide a winner, based on finishing times and if necessary, age related performance. The ladies prize will be awarded using the same criteria.


Roy's in it for the Long run!
Hayley retains title.



Roy Long dominated the 2010 Series sponsored by Royal Canin from start to finish. His 16th place in the Christmas 10K was enough to ensure that Andy Phimister stayed in second spot. Andy was also runner up in the 2009 Series.
Hayley Payne, who was the lady winner last year has done it again in 2010! Dianne Buckley - like fellow New Forest Runner Andy Phimister, had to settle for second place.

Steven Hall Wins The Runningtree Series 2009!



Congratulations to Steven Hall for being the overall winner of the Series. Steven started off with a 5th place at the Sway 5 and finished with an 18th place in the Christmas 10K against a much stronger field. He won by only accumilating 45 points. Well done!

Hayley Payne was the winning lady on 499 points after Reading runner, Jaqueline Smith who was leading the ladies prior to the Christmas 10k, did not finish the last race.
New Forest Runner, Andy Phimister was second male with a total of 121 points and Brian Baker third on 158 points.
Second lady was Jenny Simmonds with 535 points and Ann Buckett 733 points. The Series appears to be capturing interest with 30 runners completing the Series this year - up by 20!

Andrew Jennings kept his grip on top spot with an 11th place finish in the Christmas Pudding Race at Burton – the fifth and final race, to take the Runningtree Series 2008. Runner up, Micheal McCabe gallantly finished in 38th place but there was not going to be any slip ups by Andrew on this occasion! Ross Wayne consolidated his third place by finishing 65th.

Christine Hart-Burke finished 345th but it was enough to ensure that she won the Ladies title. Zodwa Chasokela was the second lady to complete the series with a 401st place finish.

Overall, only 10 runners completed all 5 races! Congratulations to them and commiserations to those who tried but were prevented from completing the series by injury or other commitments.
