With six races down and seven to go Steven and Jan continue to lead their respective ranking tables . However, consistency is still the name of the game and in form Dan and Laura continue to breathe down the necks of the current leaders. Remember you need to race 8 out of the 13 races for your score to qualify at the end of the season after the Breinton 10
Next up the Magic Roundabout on Sunday 1st June quickly followed by the Abbeydore Cross Country on 4th June.
Gord's 6 Sunday 10th August 11am
Gord's 6 2014 will be run on a Sunday morning rather that Saturday evening.

The usual glorious selection of tea and tasty cakes will be available at the finish. All the money raised goes to local charities, this year Marches Family Network. Entry forms and on-line entrycentral links are available on the club web site
A BIG THANK YOU - with photo!
Sheridan & Dale Message to WVR
Many thanks to everyone at Wye Valley Runners for all your efforts this year to raise such an incredible amount of money for Marches Family Network which is a local charity of very special significance to us. We really enjoyed the Bingo evening at the Rowing Club last night and it was great to catch up with lots of our running friends.
Many thanks to Ralph, Harry and Phil for organising such a great event.

Cotswold Relay meeting - Wed May 21st
Chris Mason and Paul Bouston are holding a short meeting after the Club run on Wednesday 21st May at 7.30 to see who is interested in the relay and which leg they would like to run.
If you havent ran this event before it comes highly recommended :
The Cotswold Way Relay is now in its 22nd year, operated as 10 back-to-back races, starting each stage with a mass start at the expected arrival time of the 1st runner from the previous stage.
Running from Chipping Campden in the early morning, through to the arrival at Bath Abbey in the early evening, using the waymarked route of the Cotswold Way as our route, the relay is over 90% off-road, taking in many hills, woodlands, fields and tracks, all offering spectacular views of the countryside around (if ever a runner looked up from the path to take it in!).
Super 8 after 4 races
After 4 races things are just beginning to look interesting.
Consistency is the name of the game for this Summers prospective champion. Every race counts - you must run a minimum of 8 - so if you dont race you don't score !
39 Wye Valley vests filled the streets of Hereford this week for the Bells race meaning lots of points to give away.
Jane Edwards staying power continues to pay off in the women's contest but can she hold on as the season progresses if Laura Tootells form continues?
Similarly Steven Flowers continues to hold on to the lead due to a consistent campaign - but Dan King could snatch it if Steve misses a race when Dan is on form. No pressure of course.
Brian Symonds in bronze medal position at the monent shows what staying power can do.
