Last Sunday saw the first fixture of the Winter season, writes Tim Hannah, with the Middlesex Young Athletes’ Road Relays held once again at Minet Park, Hayes. A proper chilly and windy autumn day in this desolate part of West London saw our Ealing athletes come away with medals from […]
A group of club members took full advantage of good conditions at the Watford Open Graded Meeting on Wednesday evening. Six of the eight achieved PBs and Phil York clocked a season’s best over 800m. We don’t know the previous form of new member Sebastian Hanson, but he clocked a […]
Headline news this year is that nothing went wrong! Yes, all our runners turned up at the right place at the right time… and, just as importantly, ended up in the right place in about the right time too. Highlights included our A team’s fourth place, meaning £100 of the race […]
As John (our resident handicapper) always says: the only sure thing about the handicaps is that they will be proved wrong. It’s true that he fell slightly short of the intended aim – a blanket finish – but there was yet again shameless heckling on the start line last night… […]
ESM members and guests are invited to take part in the club’s annual Yacht Handicap – more info below – which takes place this year on Monday 2nd September. It’s free to enter and you don’t need to register in advance, but it’s helpful to let John know if you […]

With good coverage of almost all events, we finished a respectable second in our last SAL match of the season. It was a dry day with intermittent sun, but the breeze made it chilly on occasion, and PBs were few and far between. However, we competed well and won eighteen […]
Jon Ellis finished fourth in the gruelling Swissalpine Marathon 78K race on Saturday, in a time of 6:47:50. Jon has already tasted success in ultra races here in the UK, winning both the South Downs Way 50 and the North Downs Way 50 earlier this year, but it was his […]
This year’s subs became due on April 1st. If you’re not paid-up, your England Athletics registration has now lapsed. You can find out how to pay on the Membership page of this website. (If you’re not sure if you’ve paid, please contact Fiona Kennedy, Lynn Wilson or Phil York, or use […]
As Cath put it: “It was all about the men today!” Just seven hardy men and no women (apart from volunteers Lynn, Cath and myself) turned up for this championship race, writes Fiona Kennedy. Was it the clash with the Wedding Day 7k… was it the weather… was it holiday […]
