Brown Willy Run 1/1/2016

Not a race….just a bit of ‘Fun’ to get the RATS started for the year! Intense weather and conditions for this years run…best summed up with a few comments from some of the RATS who Made it! Elly- I have never ever been so cold, wet and muddy!! Still defrosting today! Paul- Awesome wasn’t the word that sprang to my mind. The most unplesant thing I’ve done since ……ever. It’s a good job I get a year to recover. David-Now that was the toughest run I have EVER done. So much respect to everybody who even attempted this, even the people being picked up by the search and rescue team and stretchered back to Jamaica Inn Mark W-You had to be there to truly appreciate how awful the conditions were! The Moor was a bog from start to finish, the rain and wind so strong it hurt and the mud got everywhere.

Storm’Force 10 24/01/2016

Muscat 10k 20/01/2016

Sue Smith took part in the Muscat 10k,Some international representation for the RATS! Sue Said:  As I was running along the coast road looking at the sea, my thoughts took me back to lovely Bude and to you all at the Club. I ran the  10k race by myself and 3 others alongside a colleague who was running the marathon for the first time to raise money for the Stroke Association for which his wife, aged 32 years, had been a victim. Well done Sue.

Walt Disney Marathon-Florida 10/01/2016

Endurance’life CTS South Devon Trail Marathon 06/02/2016

David Andrewartha 5hr 33mins

The coast was the most brutal I’ve run. Beautiful coastline but not a great deal of chance to look at it much as I tried not to be blown into electric fencing.lol. My mountain warehouse cap is now somewhere in the English channel and both cap and beanie were ripped away by the freezing wind. Jagged rocks and steep ascents certainly made it a very punishing route. The sight of tarmac was a blessing even if I was being barged back and shaken around like a raggy doll by the wind. The time speaks for itself. Those who know me would know that wouldn’t be the time of any road marathon. It was severely challenging! Well Done David- an achievement to be proud of. Great to have you representing the RATS!

The Cousin jack Classic 5/03/2016

David Andrewarth, in his own words, describes the event: Well I created this event to give something back to the running community and to do something Cornish on St Piran’s Day because I’m a very proud Cornishman. The coastal route of 17(ish) miles between Cape Cornwall to St Ives took almost a hundred runners through undulating climbs,rocks,mud,streams and farm animals. This route is severe and is the hardest stretch in Cornwall and one of the most arduous and strenuous in the UK. So overwhelmed by the turnout and the extremely mad positive feedback from people comparing the event to other organisations.

Well done David-From all at Bude RATS.
