January
​
New Year, new Start, new Member of the Month… Congratulations to Hannah Moon, on receiving the first MotM award of the year for January. Coming back from injury sustained during a hockey match, Hannah has concentrated her efforts on building strength and stamina for her running goals. The first one of 2025 entailed pounding the streets of Cheltenham in the Linda Franks 5 race in an impressive PB time of 39:40 mins. The following week doubling the distance in the Boddington 10, being the first lady home for Tewkesbury, and in her second PB of the month with 1hr 24 mins. If not running, she will happily support from the sidelines, offering encouragement to fellow runners and taking some ‘interesting’ photos. Now safely back running with her ‘regrown’ achilles tendon, the new Moon has lined-up some exciting races for 2025!
Congratulations Hannah.

February
As the Cross Country comes to a close for 2024-25, our Member of the Month for February goes to Wes Reid. His time, effort, and enthusiasm for the off-road races are second to none and his persuasive encouragement on the club’s WhatsApp group to fellow members, saw Tewkesbury put forward runners in all categories for both men, women and over 65’s. Wes always arrives first and the tent is ready and waiting for the runners, and causes much merriment in its dismantling, which is often captured on film! Adding chauffeur to his list of credits, he ferried the teams to Bath for the third race and organised a joint birthday/curry night to complete the end of the season. Although Pittville, being our ‘home ground’, was by far the worst conditions we saw all season, there were a fair few teams looking on wistfully when the Prosecco and cakes made an entrance and Tewkesbury were rocking out the tunes. Cheers Wes for making it all possible – our MotM for February.
