🏆 John Stonham Farewell Cup Winner: Michelle Wong! 🏆

We’re delighted to announce that Michelle Wong has been awarded the John Stonham Farewell Cup, presented by Jerry Lockspeiser! 👏✨

This special cup is awarded annually by the Committee to the runner who truly inspires others—whether through remarkable improvement, enthusiasm for the sport, or fighting back from illness or injury.

Michelle embodies that spirit completely. After health issues forced her to step away from running for a period of time, she didn't let that break her connection to the club. Instead, she stepped up as our Met League Cross Country Captain to support her teammates while sidelined! Now making her comeback to running and athletics, she also serves as our Women’s Captain for the Southern Athletics League. 🏃‍♀️💪

Michelle, your resilience and dedication to the team are an inspiration to us all. Huge congratulations! 🎉💙

🏆 David Simpson Memorial Trophy Winner: Hugh Torry! 🏆

A huge round of applause for Hugh Torry, recipient of the David Simpson Memorial Trophy, presented by Jerry Lockspeiser! 🏃‍♂️

Inaugurated in memory of long-standing Serpie David Simpson—who kindly left a legacy to the club to celebrate his passion for hill and off-road running—this trophy honors outstanding achievements away from the pavement.

Hugh delivered an excellent season across cross country and off-road events! 🌲 He achieved numerous 1st and 2nd place finishes in his age group, he was also the fastest Serpie at both the Southern Champs and the Isle of Wight Fell races. As a long-standing club cross country runner and former XC Captain, Hugh continues to inspire us all on the trails.

Incredible running, Hugh—congratulations on a great season! 🎉👏

🛡️ Secretary's Shield Winner: Chris Notton! 🛡️

Huge congratulations to Chris Notton, recipient of this year’s Secretary's Shield, presented by Catkin Shelley! 👏✨

Donated back in 1986 by former Club Secretary James Godber, the Secretary’s Shield is awarded annually to the member who goes above and beyond what could ever be expected of an ordinary club member.

Chris is a pillar of our running community. As Captain, he co-ordinates both the Sunday Cross Country League and the Summer League, while lending a hand with the Assembly League. From keeping us all informed on WhatsApp with quick answers and helpful updates to tirelessly uploading our race results to the website, Chris keeps the club running smoothly behind the scenes every single week. 💻🏃‍♂️💨

Thank you for your endless hard work and dedication, Chris—very well deserved! 🎉

Presented by Catherine Wilding, this award celebrates Hans’s incredible initiative. But his impact doesn’t stop there, Hans is a true cornerstone of our club, constantly dedicating his time as a volunteer, leading Wednesday night runs, managing comms, and stepping up wherever needed.
