At least 31 ESM runners took part in a parkrun yesterday morning, which is probably a club record! (And that’s not counting the fair few who were out there volunteering). Quite a few of the youngsters were at Northala Fields trying to get qualifying times for the Mini-Marathon, while Gunnersbury Park […]
After a successful inaugural event last year, we once again hosted the Derek Hebbes Memorial Schools Relays at Perivale Park on Wednesday. Around 100 children took part from seven local schools, with Notting Hill & Ealing High and Belvue High participating for the first time. ESM members played a prominent […]
We secured eleven medals at the Middlesex Indoor Athletics Championships at Lee Valley last weekend. For the senior men, Seb Zajaczkowski clocked up a personal best in the 800m to claim a silver medal, ducking under two minutes for the first time. Behind him, Mo Hashi ran almost exactly the […]
Five of our young athletes represented Middlesex at the English Schools’ Cross Country Championships in Blackburn yesterday. All six races comprised fields of well over 300, and a total of almost 2000 young athletes raced over the undulating course in Witton Park. Erica Wallace’s 73rd place was an excellent performance […]

Congratulations to M45 Jason Carty for his gold medal-winning performance of 7.32 over 60m at the BMAF (British Masters Athletic Federation) Indoor Championships at Lee Valley on 7th March.
Congratulations to Ben Waterman for his silver medal at the BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport) Championships at the weekend. Ben ran the 800m final in an indoor PB of 1:50.31. Ironically enough, the winner of that race was Richard Charles of Shaftesbury Barnet, who cut his teeth at Ealing […]
Mud glorious mud! The notoriously hilly Parliament Hill, venue for this year’s National Cross Country Championships, produced gallons of the gloopy stuff in honour of the 5,283 athletes competing at this year’s event. Some of the juniors reported seeing frogs on the course, which says something about the wet conditions! […]
We went home satisfied after the fifth and final fixture of the ATW Met Cross Country League on Saturday. The senior men’s and women’s teams both defended their Division One status, the U17/U15 girls’ team finished third overall, and there were some excellent individual performances. For the U13 girls, Lucy […]
We made the most of home advantage at the fourth fixture of the Met League on Horsenden Hill. Teams in almost all the age groups ended the day one or two positions higher in the League. There were also some outstanding individual performances, with an outright win for Nicola Ravenhill […]
