Congratulations to Linsey Ashley, Jennie Andrews, Cathy Chin and Joe Sherry   - NHRR Squirrels of the Month November 2017

​November was so great that we couldn't have just one squirrel of the month we ended up with four!

Congratulations to Linsey, Jennie and Cathy who all completed the Knebworth Half Marathon having only graduated from the couch to 5k beginners course in September. An amazing achievement!

Quiz master Joe Sherry was also awarded the prestigious title of squirrel of the month for his amazing contribution to the NHRR annual quiz night. Thanks so much Joe for all your hard work and quiz knowledge, you were a fantastic host.

​Congratulations to Nick Malpeli - NHRR Squirrel of the Month October 2017

Malpeli celebrated his debut in an England vest by taking the V50-54 silver medal in the British Masters Marathon Championships. Competing in the Chester Marathon, Nick recorded a magnificent 2.47.28 to slice 96 seconds off his personal best and set a new club record in the process.

Then only 3 weeks later he then went on to take gold over 10 miles at the Eastern Masters Championship.

Congratulations to Jo Harbon - NHRR Squirrel of the Month  September 2017

This award ticks all the boxes. Jo has shown both an extraordinary commitment to the club and impressed with an outstanding achievement. She is the driving force behind NHRR's entry into the Round Norfolk Relay giving many club members that chance to take part by either running or supporting in this superb event.

It takes a lot of logistics to get 17 runners around the Norfolk boarder ensuring everyone is in the right place at the right time, day and night! Jo's commitment to the event and her logistical management  is nothing less than outstanding. 

Thanks so much Jo from everyone who had the chance to enjoy the Round Norfolk Relay yet again.

Congratulations to James Walsh - NHRR Squirrel of the Month  August 2017

James received this award for all his hard work organising the 10-week couch-to-5-k  (C25K) course which accumulated with 30 beginners completing the September first Saturday of the month race.

​ Apart from organising all the helpers and session, his weekly motivating emails to the beginners and adding tips and trick for those new to running were well received.

Thanks James and all the members who gave up their time to make this happen.

Congratulations to Katie Harbon - NHRR Squirrel of the Month  May 2017

Katie Harbon (ladies team captain) for coming first overall and female race winner in all of the 3 mid week league races she attended over this year’s schedule. With her  help, the ladies team secured an overall first place in the league.

But its reassuring that even stars are not perfect. She lost her race number before the first race and had to run with a different hand hand-written number each of the races..

Congratulations to Monica Cullin - NHRR Squirrel of the Month  May 2017

Monica showed no modesty and really bared all for the club when a fellow club mate turned up at the 2nd MWL without a club vest. At the start line with about 2 minutes until the start Monic took one for the good of the team and stripped off her vest to allow her fellow club mate to run and score for the team. This act of selflessness meant the ladies team won on the night. Monica you truly are May's Squirrel of the month.

Congratulations Jeni Spurr-Jones - NHRR Squirrel of the Month for April 2017

​Jeni started in our beginners group last year completing the couch to 5k program.  Since then she has continued to challenge herself with new distances and has impressed us all by completing Brighton Marathon in under 5 hours.  Non runner to marathon runner in 18 months is a great achievement which has won her the title of April's Squirrel of the Month.
