Brighton Marathon 9th April 2017 By Victoria Jeeves
I didn’t plan to run the Brighton Marathon. In fact, I never planned to run any marathon – ever!

Brighton 10 mile report by Clarie Bissett The first thing to say about this event is – note to self – read the small print….!

Keith Passingham’s Stort 30 (UK Middle Distance Trail Championship) review Having thoroughly enjoyed running the Stort 30 in 2015, I naturally entered the 2016 race as soon as entries were open.

The Maldon Half Marathon was my second “Half”, and took place on Sunday 25th September. I decided to enter to keep up the momentum following the Southend Half Marathon, and to ensure that I kept running and did not return to my old ways as a couch potato. I had been warned by my fellow flyers that the course was […]

A view from Southend parkrun’s most supportive runner award winner 2016 With loads of great run reports since the Flyers website was set up, I thought I’d write a report of a different kind!

the sights, the sounds, the whoops, the laughs, the hugs, the jumps, the hi5s A bright sunny Sunday in Southend, 2nd October 2016 saw in the 31st Southend 10k.

When I saw that it was in aid of Little Havens, something very important to fellow Flyer Chris Parker, I quickly signed up. The event was being sponsored by MUFG in memory of […]
