Gavin’s Farewell to Coaching 5km at Ruislip

Sixty four runners turned out to say farewell to Gavin on this, his final coaching session before retirement. Current group members were joined by many others who have been coached by Gavin over the last 25 years. James Laing won the overall race in a time of 16:21 just pipping Kallum Pritchard by two seconds. Catriona Paterson was first woman home in a tome of 19: 04 (8th overall). Ciara Williams triumphed in the Handicap race for Gavin’s current group in a time of 31:35 ( off a 11:30 handicap). What is there to say that has not already been said about Gavin and his service to the club and his athletes? Thank you seems inadequate but less so when multiplied by the 600+ runners he has coached- we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts- its been a blast! Full results can be found Xmas Handicap
