Thank you to all those who’ve been involved in the club for creating such a great year! Highlights include the biggest events we’ve been involved in across the year - sadly these don’t include all the incredible moments from weekly training, socials and all the other races we’ve taken part in, because this post would be far too long if we did 💜💜

1) Thank you slide

2) Our trip to snowdonia for the club’s yearly training weekend.

3) Manchester Relays - our annual 3km relay race put on for other unis and clubs. Special thanks to our relay sec Freddie for his work organising such a successful event.

4) Leeds Relays - another great 3km xc relay - not quite Manchester relays, but the dossers did their best 😚

5) BUCS cross country Cardiff - this year saw us descend to Cardiff for the biggest cross country race in the uni calendar

6) Edinburgh Braids - a brutal 5 or 10km course up the braids hill in the Scottish capital. The men’s team won the 5km race

7) Centenary Dinner - a historic moment - your club can only turn 100 years old once. We celebrated this with plenty of former members with an incredible dinner at the old Trafford cricket ground.

8) Isle of Man Easter running festival - whilst not representing uni of Manchester, many of our members did go to the Isle of Man for their long weekend running festival - consisting of a 10km, hill and 5km race over 3 days.
