ERC Easter report ...

Easter is a time of tradition and it’s no different at the Easingwold Running Club. On Thursday evening after normal club group runs, members gathered in the Galtres Centre to take part in the annual Easter Egg Rolling competition.

Always a nice social start to Easter at ERC and a test of skill, judgement and a lot of luck involved. The winner at the end of the Easter competition was Rachel Farrand who kindly gave the huge chocolate egg she won to one of our younger members, James Throup. A great start to Easter.

Saturday, as usual, saw 40 members at various parkruns with Ben Jecock in Toyen, Norway being the farthest flung. Closer to home, 29 members participated at Millfield along with nine members who were volunteering there.

Easter Sunday brought about the traditional Helmsley 10k. The hilly course started at the town's Sports Club, remaining an uphill run in the first half and then downhill in the second half.

The event was part of the Club Championship and 34 members took part. Joe Dodsworth and Helen Spring were among the first home in Easingwold colours.

There were also age group wins for Sally-Anne Lardner, Pippa Hutton, Mike Tranter and Helen Spring. Special mention goes to Becky Carruthers and Maureen Medlar, both pinning on a race number for the first time in a while.
