Newburgh Xmas Handicap results 2023

There's confusion over when it starts, where it starts, and even why it's starting at all when outside it's dark, wet and windy. On the Tuesday before Christmas, Newburgh Nomads host a little run for our friends with the aim of everyone finishing at about the same time.

This is the Newburgh Christmas Handicap!

Thanks to everyone who turned up on 19 December for the craziness, it was a blast!

Prizes were awarded for dubious reasons. Brendan Bolland - first runner back. Commiserations on waiting the longest for everyone else to finish. Jonathan Kearsley - fastest runner on the road. Commiserations on enjoying less running than anyone else. You both have only yourselves to blame!

Paul Cheetham - closest to handicap. Congratulations on being a solid middle of the pack runner. Paul takes home the Mike McCabe tankard that is awarded each year in memory of our fellow runner who loved nights like these.

Thanks go to Wally Coppelov for making sense of all those random handicap times and making them match the 4.8 (ish) miles of tarmac and mud. To Matt Cochrane and Bill Russell for setting off the runners and working out who was who at the finish. Great support from Jane Woodburn and Andy Dalton too.

Thanks everyone, and Merry Christmas!
