ABRa'S 10K MORAL VICTORY FOR MILERS

Another weekend another race, this time around it was the ABRa'S 10K at Mina Seyahi. A fantastic turnout saw over 300 finishers at this well organised event. Milers were to the fore in all age groups and overall winner was Chris McCann in 35 minutes 18 seconds.

Full Miler results were

1st Chris McCann 35-18
6th Alistair Allen 36-07
16th Jim Harlock 37-43 & 1st M40
47th Graham Spriggs 41-38 PB
51st Dave Jackson 42-08 3rd M50 PB
118th Dunkin Scadden 48-22


The photo shows the milers at the moment they realised they had been robbed of the club championship!

Milers were as per the official results 3rd in the team contest but as we all know we won in reality, the first time we have beaten the ABRa'S! Milers were second in the veterans team event. Beside the obvious highlights of having the individual champion, the M40 champion, team champions it is our pleasure to report that a certain Mr Malcom Murphy of DCS fame was lapped by Chris McCann! Thanks to the ABRa'S for organising another top class event.

DRR 10K

Yet more good performances from the Milers at the DRR 10K race, as usual Chris McCann lead us home taking 4th place overall. Marcia Adams was 4th overall in the female race and the stand out performance of the day has to be young Brodie Wells, 13 minutes 13 seconds for a lap of Safa Park! It won't be long before he is challenging Chris for the club championship!
It was wonderfull to see so many mini milers joining in, the next generation is coming! Thanks to Graham and his team for a great event.

THE HOTTEST RACE IN TOWN!

On the hottest day of the year to date the Mirdif Milers held their 2nd 10 Mile race around Mushrif Park. At the crack of 0833 Dunkin Scadden shouted "Go" and the race was on. All the usual suspects were out and about and it was no surprise to see Neil Tate, Nick Berrill, Chris McCann & Andy Keron in the lead pack. Though less familiar faces to us all amongst the leaders were the new arrivals of Paul Holley and Murphy's new star Anne-Mari Hyryläinen.

As the race went on the temperature seemed to rise ever higher and areas of shade ever less and the "bloody" hill seemed twice as high the second
time around. As Paul Holley wilted in the burning Arabian sun Neil Tate spurred on no doubt by the thought of free DoNuts at the finish carried on to win in a fantastic time of 59 minutes 15 seconds ahead of the wilting Paul Holley who finished in a still very impressive 59-37. First lady home was Anne-Mari Hyryläinen in 8th place overall and 65-38.

The Club Championship went to the ABRa's with a total of 40 points, second were the Mirdif Milers with 101 points just edging out the Dubai Creek Striders who amassed 103 points.

Who knows we may even get the trophy engraved before next's years race!

As always no race would be run without the help and support of friends, families and injured runners! So thank you to all who gave up their time to help support the milers by manning water stations, taking entries, handing out medals etc. Further thanks to Dubai Parks Department for letting us run in the park, Dunkin DoNuts for the post race "fuel", Oasis water & Spinneys for providing liquids for the hot and bothered.

We hope to you all had a wonderful run and that you will all be back for the third running of the Milers 10 Mile race.
