Sixty-one ESM athletes completed the Ealing Half Marathon on Saturday. Illness and injury inevitably stopped a few from lining up on the day, but all those who started the race completed it successfully. Highlights included the commendable 15th place finish for Jon Ellis, who trimmed his personal best still further to 75:47, and the age […]
We celebrated the 50th anniversary of the North West London cross country league at Horsenden Hill on Saturday, the final 4.7km race including adults who had run in the league during their younger days. Despite the occasion and the glorious warm weather, it was in other respects a low-key start to the season for the club. […]
Long-time ESM member Dennis Wraight (pictured in blue) won two gold medals for Slovenia in the M75 category at the Balkan Veteran Games in Thessaloniki last weekend. He ran the 5000m on Friday 18th September, in a sprightly 25:26.9 minutes, which puts him top of the UK rankings this year. The following day he won […]

Conditions were chilly and breezy and our U20/U17 squad were faced with almost unrelenting rain at the final match of the Youth Development League at Perivale last Saturday. PBs were few and far between, and home advantage was of little avail. The turnout was a little sparse, but they won over half the events contested, […]
Our Under 13 boys smashed the club 4x100m relay record in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Stadium last night, clocking 52.69 against the old record of 54.31 (set earlier this year).
