MapRun League concludes

Thursday was the final day for the Romsey round of the Spring/Summer MapRun league. Many thanks to Norman Wilson for planning a challenging event with no one clearing all of the controls. It would have been a draw between David Currie and Andy Snell but, Andy having run significantly further, he was half a minute late returning leaving David to top the results. They were followed by Paul Thwaites, James Bennett, and Sam White. First female was Emily Hopkinson.

In the overall league results, David's first place meant he won the league with maximum points. Despite Andy beating Paul in the final race, the relative positions were just enough for Paul to stay ahead and take second place in the league. James Bennet was fourth and Matthew Gunton fifth, both having taken podium positions during the league. Emily Hopkinson was first female, just ahead of Rebecca Aspin.

Special mention also goes to Matthew Chessum, Allan Farrington, P Hopkinson, Mark Light, and Louise Light, who competed in all eight events. A big thank you also goes to Helen Wheelwright for doing all of the event management for the league.

That concludes the Spring/Summer League but all of the courses are still available through the MapRun app. Watch this space for news of what's coming next!
