Get Your Kit On....
Most Pock Runners are aware that new kit (vests for starters) is on the horizon....and an email has been sent out to everyone about it. But for those who aren't on email, take a look at the pics of Helen Cross to the right and let us know what you think...not of Helen...of the running vest. Currently, numbers are being worked out for an initial order, so if you're interested, let Sarah Hargreaves know....or someone who's on email, and they can let her know.

Its London time again!
Very well done to everyone who took part in the London Marathon......on a beautiful day for spectators but the lovely April sunshine wasn't ideal for the runners. The photographs in so far are very hit and miss......so apologies to the majority of runners who don't appear. How about these results though....

Redcar Half Marathon
There was a great turn out by Pocklington Runners this weekend at the Redcar Half on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. It was probably better for spectators than runners who enjoyed the Spring sunshine, but Pocklington turned out some great results as ever. Follow this link for pics of very nearly everyone (apologies to Dave Barker)...although the Pock Runners' photographer missed him, the BBC didn't! (see left)
Hornsea Third!
Not sure whether to hold a 10k or a half marathon, East Hull Harriers just couldn't decide, so enjoy some photos from the Hornsea Third Marathon (8½ miles). Follow this link for fab pictures kindly supplied by John Baker and Dave Gowans from the Harriers.

!
Well done to everyone who took part in the Snake Lane 10. It was a fab day and we hope you had a great race. For Howard Cross' race report, follow this link. The predicted sunny intervals and mild(ish) temperatures were just right for a change, despite it being a bit on the windy side going out.
Take a look at the fantastic Pocklington Post's race report here
Follow this link for photos at Feoffee Lane (or the 8 mile marker as you probably know it). There are loads of runners snapped here, not just Pock Runners.

Pock Runners Presentation Night....
A good time was had by all at Allerthorpe Golf Club for the Club's annual presentation night. Really well done to everyone who took home trophies....and well done to everyone for some novel dance moves. Take a look at a few photos....there'll be more to come later.

Humberside X Country Championships
Follow this link to take a look at the Humberside Cross Country Championships where three intrepid Pock Runners took part.
The Wolds 20!
The Wolds 20 doesn't actually stand for the Wolds 20 Minute Run as most normal people may think. It, in fact, stands for 20 MILES.....a long way by anyone's standards. Anyway, the people photographed above actually understood this before they agreed to take part.....and still went along. Take a look for yourselves.....
Cross Country at Thixendale!
It was cold and the ground was rock hard but it was lots of fun (excluding a couple of hills) and everyone had a good time.
Pock Juniors Christmas Party!
It looks like the Juniors had a great time at their party this Christmas (pictured left with big kids, Kath and Rocky!) There were selection boxes and medals for everyone! Folow this link for a couple of pics.
It's Hell Up North!
Pocklington Runner newcomer, Helen Townend, must be a total gluton for punishment when she completed the Hell Up North challenge in Delamere Forest in Cheshire with friends.....running somewhere between 10 and 12 miles of hills of hell and bogs of doom!
If this appeals to you, there's not only a Hell Up North run....you could always do the Hell Down South challenge for a bit of a holiday. Well done Helen for getting round!
Warwick writes New York....
For a personal, intense, first-hand view of what any marathon (and especially New York) is like, read Warwick's fab report.
A great day was had at the Guy Fawkes 10
Follow this link for a race report from the always challenging Guy Fawkes 10m race held on 2 November. Report by Ed Rawlings. Follow this link for Pock Post report.
Warwick does New York
And when Warwick does New York, he does it properly! 3:13:04 to be precise. Really well done Warwick. He and his wife Sharron had a fab time in the Big Apple and he explained how proud he was to be wearing his Pock Runners On Tour vest! Something to also be proud of is the £800 he's raised so far for Children With Leukemia. The thought of the sponsorship might have helped him get out of bed at 3.20am to get to the start in freezing conditions and wait for five shivering hours. Definitely an unforgetable experience! For a small taste of the experience follow this link for a few pics. Take a look at the Pock Post report by following this link.
Simon Richardson takes Koln by storm...
Pock Runner Simon Richardson competed in a very wet looking Germany at the Koln Marathon and finished the course in an amazing 3:05:08. See some great photos by his daughter Alex (seen right supporting her dad!) although when you take a look you might notice that some peope were cheating. Well done Simon... you're an inspiration as ever.
Two Pock Runners in Top 10 at International Amsterdam Half Marathon
What a fantastic weekend for Pocklington Runners abroad with Tom Danby coming 7th overall at the Amsterdam Half Marathon with a PB of 1:13:22 and Helen Cross as 4th lady home with another PB of 1:22:18! Awesome results. See Helen cross the line here and see Tom cross the line here. Pics and a report to follow soon.
Bridlington Half Marathon
19 October 2008
Well done to the Pock Runners who ran the Bridlington Half Marathon. Follow this link for some photos.
Warwick's going Stateside.....
If you've been sitting at home worrying about how Warwick Anderson is going to get on in the New York Marathon on 2 November, your sleepless nights are over, because now you can get yourself online on the day and follow his progress for yourselves. By the magic of the interweb, you can follow this link to watch the race live and follow this link (not now!) after 2.20pm on the day and look up no 312001. Oh, and Paula Radcliffe's running, so you might like to watch her for a bit too. Warwick's putting himself through the marathon for the worthy cause of Children with Leukaemia, and if you'd like to part with some cash to assist him then follow this link to go to his sponsorship site. AND after you've watched the marathon; sponsored the man; you can go to the charity Frankie Dettori style race night at the Rugby Club on Wednesday, 12 November. It'll cost you £3 per ticket for chilli (inc vegetarian) and baked potato. There are eight races at £1 a go with half the winnings going to the winner (of course) and half to Children with Leukaemia. Good luck Warwick!

Haile Thought Of.....
Pock Runners Dennis Speck and Richard Ginn would have broken something to have their photo taken at the Berlin Marathon with the legendary Haile Gebrselassie, but they arrived a day too late for Haile, so the limelight was taken by Dennis's brother-in-law, who was lucky enough to meet the man himself. However, truth is Richard did break something beforehand and still managed to finish the course in 4:36 with his broken arm in pot. Oh, and the brother-in-law of the man who met Haile got a PB of 2:54:52.

Race 4 Life - York, Sunday 6 July
A massive well done to a group of ladies from Pock Runners who endured monsoon conditions on York's Knavesmire Racecourse on Sunday 6 July to run in the Race For Life. Incredibly well done to Kath and Maz (pictured right before the race), Little Rachael, Faye, Adele and Bethany and Rachael. We'd take our hats off to you all, if it wasn't raining outside! New Junior Runner Megan Whitelock (pictured right inset) ran with her mum and said that she really enjoyed it, but that it was very wet and muddy.
