RACE RESULTS ARE AVAILABLE BY CLICKING HERE A record number of runners completed our Charity Race on Sunday. In addition we had 38 kids competing in the 2k Children's Race. After heavy overnight and early morning rain the weather relented both during and after the race much to our delight. Ahmed from Ilford won in 15:31 with ELR Lee Johnson in second place. Our Ladies, Ava Lee, Karen Levison and Caroline Frith won the Ladies Team Prize with both Ava and Karen also winning individual prizes, 3rd Lady and 1st FV50 respectively. Maya Goodwin assisted Frank in the Race Director role in Jonathan's absence and did a great job. Stuart Barton and his team put up and took down the course and managed to get soaked pre race in doing so. Michael Bamford managed the volunteers expertly including our Medic Team. Tricia and her helpers including our bakers raised £500 for Charity from cake sales and ELHAP held a raffle to raise funds. Lance provided the music and Leyton Sports Massage gave free massages post race. Many thanks to all our members, their families and friends of the Club who helped in the many different ways to make our race a great success.

Valentines Park 5K race Sunday 30th September 2018 at 10.30am Well it's that time of year again, and I must tell you that I am very excited. We’ve just launched the opening of the race, so I hope that you will all be signing up soon - here's the all-important link - as one of the cheapest races going - as paid up members (and affiliated) the cost is just £6 to enter and get a chip timed 5k result. We shall be arranging our ever-popular cake stall. There's really only one tent that an ELR baker wants to be seen in....the challenge is going from strength to strength, and each year the cakes donated seem to get bigger and better. Further details to follow.... As usual we will be looking for those that can't run to help us with arrangements on the day - we will shortly be coordinating volunteers, so please ask your nearest and dearest, significant others, coat and water carriers, therapists, counsellors and loved ones if they can help. We have always had a great turn out from our extended ELR family, and it really is appreciated. Our race, unlike other ELVIS races is a charity race. The club takes nothing from this event, apart from our small expenses. We have managed to secure sponsorship once again from our friends at Leyton Sports Massage. Katherine and her team will again be on hand to provide mini massages on the day. Read on to read more from Katherine below. Did you know that ELR members get 10% discount from all of her treatments on offer? This year's race will again support ELHAP Adventure Playground. This wonderful charity provides such valuable opportunities for children, young people and adults with disabilities. As ELHAP is also the Mayor of Redbridge's charity, I am delighted to be able to confirm that she has agreed to start our race and present our prizes. Jonathan
