2008 Peter Palmer Relay

On Saturday, two SROC junior teams travelled to Leeds to take part in the Peter Palmer relays, a night relay for juniors. Over 200 people tried to sleep in an indoor athletics hall prior to getting up for the 5am mass start. Both teams ran well to successfully finish; the SROCodiles (Katrin, John, Zoe, Kira, Helen, Matt) came 10th overall and third handicap team; the SROCkets (Ben, Rebecca, Flora, Lisa, Sophie, Chris) finished a very respectable 25th. The event provided good spectator value with most courses making one or more visits to a gnome in the middle of the field.  An enjoyable but tiring event. Many thanks to Chris Roberts, Rebecca Roberts and Quentin Harding for providing the transport and adult supervision. Next year Dorset!
