A Perfect Day at the Sussex Road Relays

Another superb spring day at the Sussex Road Relays held in Preston Park.

Arena 80 fielded 11 teams across all age groups and medaled in the women’s over 40s, the men’s over 50’s and picking up an impressive gold in the women’s over 60s. Well done to all our medalists.

The Road Relays attract the best runners from all over the county so the standard is inevitably high. There were some great individual performances to add to the medal tally but I think this events main attraction is the huge club spirit we enjoy on the day. Passing the start no fewer than 4 times on a 2 mile dash gives ample opportunity to soak up the vibe and enjoy the enthusiastic encouragement from the spectators.

Our huge thanks go out to the event organisers including our own Bob Page and Paul ‘the gun’ Gasson for making sure we all started.
