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.
May Runner of The Month
OUR MAY RUNNER OF THE MONTH GOES TO SAM AND JAMES BOOTH.
CONGRATULATIONS SAM AND JAMES!
Sam and James trained solidly for their respective marathons which were a week apart. They are busy with their family anyway, so the fact they both managed to fit in that much training and at the same time take on the Kit role at the club is doubly impressive. They both achieved great results too. It wasn’t that long ago that Sam had a broken foot, so the work she put in to get back to running fitness should not be under-estimated. Well done both a well-deserved runners of the Month award.
