June Race Round Up by Hannah Wells
It’s been a busy month and hard to keep up, here are some of the highlights!!!
Summer Solstice
The Speedy Spencers
Inaugural Summer Solstice Race and BBQ 24th June! A really fun event for all family and friends of Hillingdon AC. Well done to Rob Thompson who ran as a solo team and still won the title! A special mention to Richard Mann who completed the fastest lap with 05:17, Anna Harwood for completing the fastest female lap with 06:20 and Patrick Hyde fastest junior lap with 06:40. Our next Big Hillingdon AC race and BBQ is the infamous Gosunder on the 12th of August!
The Hutchison Harriers
3rd SAL Match Uxbridge
Home advantage at the 3rd SAL meant we were able to walk away with 2nd place in a very hard fixture! It was great to see so many new faces taking part for the first time in the SAL. Woman of the Match goes to newcomer Lorraine McNulty for being brave enough to try out the steeplechase in her first time competing! Man of the Match goes to Liam Holbrook for his impressive dive to the line of the men’s 4x400m! The next League event is on the 8th of July at Reading, please let your team managers know if you are available, all competing athletics and first timers welcome!
L is for Lorraine, Lotte and Lyndsey
“The Vets”
The Vets team continues to go from strength to strength and following a balmy summers evening in June at Battersea Park, they remain 2nd place in the league! The next meet takes place on Wednesday 12th of July at Perivale – why not try something new or give something a go you haven’t done for a long time!

Kids Fly High
The latest 3k run took place on Tuesday 27th June. The weather wasn`t very pleasant but 51 athletes/parents turned out to run which was great to see. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped marshal the event whether it was as a timekeeper or as a field marshal to make sure everyone kept on the right route, your support is much appreciated.
The first athlete to finish was Josh H Lee who ran an impressive 11:16 and was followed in by, Patrick Hyde 11:43 and Arun Forrest 12.04. The first female to finish was Millie Loran in 13.39 and 11th place overall. Well done to all who took part.
