The results of the 2019 Barnsley Boundary Relay Race are here. Note there are some changes to the times of the Barnsley AC times from those announced at the presentation evening, as a result of a mix-up with the numbers on one of the legs. However, the overall positions of the teams in categories is not affected and the Barnsley AC ladies time (9:46:08) is still a new course record.
Thanks to all the runners in a record 38 teams, all the marshals, timekeepers, organisers and other volunteers.
The 2019 Penistone 10K will be on Sunday 30th June at 11:00. Online entry is available here. £16 for EA members; £18 for non-EA members. An extra £2 for entries on the day. Closing date for pre-entries: 24 June 2019.
Note: when entering as an EA member there is currently a glitch in the system for checking EA membership which means it sometimes says your EA number is not recognised. Check that your first name, surname, date of birth and EA number are exactly as recorded on the EA system and you may need to resubmit the data by pressing the “Continue” button a few times before it accepts it.
For details see the race page.
Venue: Bolsterstone Village Hall, Tuesday 2nd July, to set off 7pm.
Mainly off road route, suitable for all.
The Castle Inn in the village will put on some food if people would like to eat afterwards. If numbers are big enough they will do something like steak pie and chips, if small numbers we can just order from the menu. May be helpful if folks can give an indication as to whether they would like to eat afterwards, either to Sarah Plummer or Julia Johnson.
Also we could do with about 6 marshals and timekeepers, if anyone who isn’t running would like to help.
Walk to Run is an annual event put on by Penistone Footpath Runners to promote fitness for the communities in and around Penistone.
It is a free, 10 week session that takes place on the Trans Pennine Trail behind Tesco in Penistone.
This year the first session will be on Thursday 16th of May starting at 6.30pm.
Full details are available here.

The results from the Amble’s Revenge on 30 December 2018 are here. Thanks to all who ran, marshalled, and helped in lots of other ways to make the event such a success again.
The race was won by Tom Saville of Dark Peak Fell Runners in a new course record time of 40:15. First lady was Laura Gill in 53:34. First male team was Penistone (Scott Hinchcliffe (2nd), Gareth Cooke (4th) and Dan Limb (14th)). First ladies’ team was also Penistone with the first three places: Laura Gill, Julie Darigala and Becky Timms. In all, 85 ran. The full results are here.
We have a new website for the club standards for road running. All the qualifying road races and parkruns are now taken directly from the British Athletics Power of 10 website, which means we can include races from before 2017. We have also adjusted the standard times to make them consistent across all age/sex groups and distances. A detailed explanation of the standards is on the standards page. The current standings for all Penistone runners are listed here and will be updated regularly. If you want to submit a race that is not included on your Power of 10 page, please send details to John Broom – if approved it will be added manually. Certificates of achievement for new standards achieved in 2018 will be awarded at the club presentation night.
Results from last Sunday’s Traveller’s Relay are here. Thanks to Gary, Caroline and Simon for organising and timing.

A record number of teams (34) with all 340 runners completing their legs, and a new course record for the Barnsley AC ladies team. Final results and details of winning teams are on the race page.
All the results from last night’s club mile, 4x400m and junior races are here. Despite being pipped by the impressive Barnsley AC teams, both the Penistone 4x400m relay teams broke club records, and there was a new V55 record set by Sue Hall for the mile. Several juniors came within a second of their age group records, so there is good potential there. Thanks to everyone who supported it across both PFR and Barnsley AC, and in particular to Shaun Dimelow, Martyn Cartwright, Keith Binney, Helen Fryers, Jill Carlton and Sophie Dimelow for all your contributions to the running of the evening.
Congratulations to Nathan Lawson and Katie Walshaw, each winning last night’s Hartcliff Hill race by a big margin in times of 16:46 and 19:17 respectively, making a mockery of heavy conditions. The full results are here. Thanks to all organisers, marshals and Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team, and to all runners.
Results for final race are here.
A disappointing turnout of 42 runners for the last race despite a pleasant enough evening, albeit a bit breezy on the tops. Obviously this helped Andrew who, in his first race for a few years, ‘breezed’ to a win by over two and a half minutes. Not that this mattered, as tonight was really about who won the championship. Jill was second in the race with a much improved time but the big winner was Shelley Gill who can claim the winter handicap championship. Second place goes to Sue Hall and third to Simon Pike. All the qualifying runners are in bold on the results. Times in general were down due to the wind but yet again Alan Knox was consistent enough to take 3rd place in the WMA on the night and first place overall. 2nd in WMA was Richard Mackie and 3rd was Matt Robinson. They will be joined as trophy winners by Laura Gill and Damian Kilpin as fastest lady and man. Congratulations to everyone. A great series blessed by good weather and many thanks to the helpers. Martyn, Janet in particular and Paul for the excellent results service. It might seem a long way off but it will be no time at all before it all begins again. Enjoy the summer and don’t forget it’s the Winter (Christmas) Handicap (the other one) this coming Sunday. Details here.

As runners we all spend time out training, buying the latest kit and entering races. But the one thing most of us forget, can’t be bothered to do or just don’t know how to do, is a post run stretch. In an attempt to keep injury free we really should not ignore this part of our training routine.
This link shows a number of key stretches that all runners should do post run. They shouldn’t take more than 5-10 mins and your muscles will appreciate them.
