The third of our vintage HHH pre-Christmas events passed by with the joining of club younger training groups, sprinters, distance groups interspersed with veterans and those that also braved last night’s highly successful HHH-Doss AC Xmas pub crawl.
The event is handicapped teams using an Xmas cracker as a relay baton, covering 200 metre repetitions around the track with teams of three over twenty minutes with the intent to cover the maximum distance.
The ebullient athletes, eagerly awaited their team selection and subsequently the starting whistle. Despite the wind and drizzle twenty five teams (75 athletes in all) took off engulfing the track judges straight into the usual confusion to tackle the data of team progress over the madly intense 20 minutes.
Close as the results were, the ‘top sprinter team’ (declaring themselves late) were hamstrung by the loss of one of their men. Middle distance with the element of talented youth prevailed to be victorious this evening, so we congratulate Mo Mohamud, Mo Ali and Dan Hallam on their win.
As the mince pies, nibbles and Christmas wishes were distributed between teams, parents and officials the results were finally announced for the 20 minute HHH Cracker Relay :
