Awards and Prizes
Each year we present three awards: Most Improved, Most Consistent, and Runner's Runner.
This year the well deserved recipients of the awards were:
Most Improved = Sean Brown
This one was really tough as everybody in BRS has achieved and smashed their own personal goals this year, whether it be getting faster, going further, or trying other sports.
Sean really stands out to us...why?
It is the silent assassin!! he started in the B2B beginners group run walking in 2010 and 2011. He has been running with BRS over a year going from strength to strength. He B2B times over the last three years tell the story beautifully.......
2010: 1hr, 16mins
2011: 52.45mins
2012: 46.27mins
An improvement of 30mins over 10km !!! He is now running with the 500 group! the sky is the limit! Well done Sean.
-
Most Consistent = Andrew Marrington
This awards goes to the runner that has attended the most mid-week sessions, regularly attends Saturday sessions and is usually present at BRS social functions.
This year it was a very close race!!! Our top five included Michelle W, Steve G, Sally, and Jill!
Andrew just pipped them at the post! Well done Andrew
Runner's Runner = Michelle Wood
Never before have we had so many different runners nominated by other runners for this prestigious award! I read many of the other nominations out on the night! Well done to all BRSers who were nominated!
Think about
who at BRS has inspired you, impressed you, makes you feel like running more,
or just puts a smile on your face.
This much deserved winner for 2013 was Michelle Wood. Some of the entries included:

Everybody put more than 100% into the Team Challenges throughout the night and a special mention to all those team members who participated in the Dance off!! Very brave....Some untapped dancing talent out there...and some who maybe shouldn't frequent the dance floor!!
