20 years of the Frostbite Friendly League
 
1st March 2009
 
Thanks to everyone at BRJ for a great race today. The turnout today was amazing - 422 seniors and 123 juniors which I'm sure is a record for the BRJ race. Congratulation to Riverside for doing the double with both senior and junior champions. Sadly, that's it for another season. A big thank you to every one who has raced during the year and supported the League. Here to the next 20 years.
 
Don't forget that tickets for the Senior Presentation are now on sale. Tickets are only £10 each for a buffet, disco and a really good night out. Please contact Peter & Gena Jackman: Genajackman@sky.com

Only a few days to go now before our 6th and final race of the season, and once again the season has really flown past. But don't forget its not over till it over, so be there on Sunday and earn some points for your club.
 
 If you have run 4 or more Frostbite races make sure you pick up your specially printed shoe bag commemorating 20 years of the League. The bags are being held by your team's club captain or chairman.
 
Sue Burnet from Active Edge www.activeedgesolutions.co.uk has been in touch with me to say she will be present on Sunday and will be offering a ten minute sports massage for £5
 
See you Sunday

I'm sure some of you will have seen Keith Brookes from NVH fall on Sunday and get injured. He received a bad cut to his hand which required stitching in A&E. I'm pleased to say he is otherwise ok.
 
Keith has contacted me to say "I received support, warm drinks and clothing from many people as well as help from the First Aiders and I would like them to know how much it was appreciated"

Many thanks to everyone at Bourne Town Harriers for a lovely run today through the woods. Despite the flurry of snow and the cold conditions it was a great day and really well attended. Well done to Bourne for winning the senior race today on their home patch.
 
Don't forget that tickets for the Senior Presentation are now on sale. Tickets are only £10 each for a buffet, disco and a really good night out. Please contact Peter & Gena Jackman: Genajackman@sky.com
 
To celebrate 20 years of the Frostbite League we will be giving specially printed shoe bags to runners who finish 4 out of the 6 races and hopefully some of you will already have one from running all of the first 4 races.

Race 5 at Bourne is this Sunday. As usual there is plenty of parking at the Westfield school (PE10 9QS on your sat nav) and the surrounding roads but parking in Bourne woods is very limited.
 
The route is entirely off road and mainly within Bourne Woods. Underfoot its hard forest path and a few muddy bits - a really enjoyable run.

There has been a correction to the results from Ramsey, C&C did not have a finisher at position 21 (apparently the ticket was not given out) . I have decided to keep a ghost finisher in that position so as not to affect the rest of the individual positions. C&C now have 1554 points which gave them 13th place at Ramsey. I have recalculated the positions and points at Ramsey. Overall league points have changed but positions have not been affected.

Firstly a really big thank you to Ian and all at Hunts AC for organising the first Frostbite race at Hinchingbrooke Park also the rangers and staff at the country park for their help. It was a little muddy but I think every one enjoyed a good run around a lovely park.
 
Well done to Riverside Juniors and NVH Seniors for winning today's races. NVH's first three men finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd to secure the win.

7th December 2008
 
Hunts AC are all set and ready to welcome us to a great race at Hinchingbrooke on the 14th December, the 3rd race of the series.
 
The good news is we have much more parking available to us to use at the Hinchingbrooke Business Park. From the  A14/A14 roundabout turn off on the slip road into the Marriott Hotel (marked on the map here) and Business Park (PE29 6FN). Go through the gates, which will be opened for us on the morning, and follow the road to the end where marshals will direct you. From there its a 10-15 minute walk to the start.
 
Alternatively follow the direction on the map here to Hinchingbrooke Park parking. On your sat-nav it's PE29 6DB.
 
The course is generally a cross country but there is a section on pavements, so this route is not suitable for spikes. Some of the route is through a wooded area so please be on the look out for exposed roots and tree stumps.
 
Sue Burnett from Active Edge will again be attending our race. She is offering special deals for Frostbite runners. Click here for more details.
 
I've recently been reminded that it was in fact a record turnout at Bushfield. Its great news that we continue to attract so many runners, a big thank you to you all.
 
09th November 2008
 
Many thanks today to Bushfield for organising another great race (and a special mention for the home made cakes!). The weather was bright and sunny and we had a fantastic turnout of 489 seniors and 122 juniors. Well done to everyone who ran and well done again to Riverside for winning both the junior and senior races.
 
I will post directions to our next race at Hinchingbrooke soon. Parking may be a tight so please share lifts (or bike if you live locally). Hunts AC would also be very grateful for extra marshals if you are not running.
 
This year to celebrate 20 years of the Frostbite Friendly League we will be awarding a specially printed shoe bag to all runners who finish 4 of the 6 league races.
 
 
26th October 2008
Not long now before our next Frostbite League race hosted by Bushfield. The race HQ is at the Bushfield Sports Centre (PE2 5RQ). We will, of course, be holding a 1 minute silence before the senior race in respect of Remembrance Sunday.
 
Please follow the marshals and directions to free car parking in the adjacent Southgate Industrial estate. Parking immediately outside the Sports centre is pay-and-display and you will need to pay if you park there on Sunday.
 
The route at Bushfield is a mixture of road/tarmac path and hard woodland paths.
 
A collection will be made for ASBAH again this month. Please bring along some spare change to help this worthy charity.
 
In the hall at Bushfield will be Sue Burnett from Active Edge. Sue will be offering a sports massage at a special price to all Frostbite runners on the morning. Sports massage offered by Sue is not just beneficial after a hard race or a long training run to speed your recovery, but can help with neck, shoulder and back pain and improve posture.   Click here for more details about Active Edge
 
5th October 2008
I can't believe what a morning it was, I've never know it rain so much at a Frostbite!! Despite the terrible weather Riverside put on a great race - many thanks to all who helped organise it. Well done also to Riverside for claiming first Senior and junior team position.
 
Hopefully the weather will be better in November, see you all at Bushfield on the 9th.
 
23rd September 2008
Its not long now to our first Frostbite race of the season, Riverside are all set and ready to welcome us. Please note that all the facilities are in the Pavilions in Priory Park, the Rugby Club is not being used this year. Parking is 1 minute walk away in Almond Road Technical College. (PE19 1DZ on your sat nav)- please follow the marshals.
 
The course, which is the same as last year, is three varied laps of the Park. It is entirely off-road and generally on a smooth grass surface.
 
As many of you will be aware George Cant passed away in August. George together with his wife Doreen had provided our First aid support for many years and he will be sadly missed. A collection for ASBAH, a charity supported by George will be made at our first race. For more details about supporting this good cause please see www.asbah.org
 
 
On July 6th we had the AGM, the main points from the meeting are;
 
  • We will continue to score 3 ladies and 7 men.
 
  • All of the current clubs are remaining in the League and no new clubs have applied to join.
 
  • To celebrate the League’s 20th year a spot prize of a shoe bag will be given to all those who run 4 or more races.
 
  • All runners (both senior and junior) MUST wear club colours and will be disqualified if they do not.
 
  • Hunts AC announced they would be hosting a new race at Hinchingbrooke Park – more details soon.
