Bourton Roadrunners’ member, Lee Hutton, has been participating in the Transplant Games in Nottingham while others focus on the Olympics.

The official results have not yet been published, but Lee’s remarkable achievements are much anticipated.

The British Transplant Games are the flagship project of the charity Transplant Sport and have been in existence for over 40 years. The Games have grown and are held every year in different cities throughout the UK.

They aim to demonstrate the benefits of transplantation, encouraging transplant patients to regain fitness while increasing public awareness of the need for more people to join the NHS Organ Donation Register.

Over the weekend, the Cotswold village of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, held its annual Hooky Six race, which saw two Bourton Roadrunners take part.

Andy Peaston, synonymous with consistency, clocked in a time of 47 minutes and 15 seconds while Susan Hunt came second in the Women Vet 55 category with 49 minutes and 12 seconds.

For both runners, this event is an annual staple.

In August, Bourton Roadrunners integrated their race competition series with parkrun.

The best performance of each club member at various venues contributes to their points tally.

This week saw various performances including Edward Hare securing first overall place at Chipping Norton School at 19:06 and Tim Hemming securing a personal best at Fleetwood Promenade at 20:57.

Lee Smith achieved 30:03 at Chipping Norton School and Claire Louise Carroll scored her personal best of 28:04 at Southsea.

Further results across different events at Arrow Valley, Bryn Bach, Cheltenham Pittville Park, Cirencester, King George V Playing Field, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Thames Path, Woolwich underline the inclusive spirit of the competition.

Each member’s best performance determines their club points, creating a culture of excellence and camaraderie among Roadrunners.

As we await the results of Lee’s endeavours at the Transplant Games, it is evident that Bourton Roadrunners are making their mark across various running forums this month.

Overall, it is clear that the spirit of competitiveness combined with a love for running thrives in the Cotswold village.

From parkruns to annual road races and beyond, the Bourton Roadrunners seem to have a run for everyone.
