What is Runner of The Month & how is it chosen?
For many years now Leighton Fun Runners has chosen a Runner of The Month. This is a person whom the Captain's team believe deserves to be recognised.
Nominations can be made by members. These nominations will be considered but it doesn't mean their nomination will be chosen. It will definitely be considered along with those already being thought about.
Since February 2020 the Runner of The Month has specifically been chosen based upon:
- Recent running achievements
- How they have used club sessions to get to this point
- Do they contribute to the club
- LFR Spirit
When there is more than 1 candidate being considered for a month, then the winner will be selected taking all criteria into account. Some months only one member may stand out and in that case not all measures need to be reached. The final decision lies with the Captain's team.
No one is ever overlooked for their achievements.
April Runner of The Month
OUR APRIL RUNNER OF THE MONTH IS DEBBIE ELBORN
CONGRATULATIONS DEBBIE!
April is flying by with the speed of an elite marathon runner, and it is time to celebrate our April Runner of the Month Debbie Elborn:
Debbie has been running really well recently. She's been running great times over a number of distances and worked hard towards the Kew Half Marathon.
She's been a regular at club nights, running in a variety of groups as well as using the coached sessions on Thursday to build her fitness. Debbie also embraced the cross-country season earlier in the year.
Always encouraging and helpful, Debbie ran with other LFRs at Kew to encourage them round, a real team player. Well done Debbie on a deserved ROTM award.
