Chineham Park Running Club’s chairman, Jon Mathews, scooped the top accolade of Senior Sports Volunteer. This is an amazing achievement as CPRC are' the new kids on the block' and were up against stiff competition from long established clubs.
On the night Jon said: “I was very humbled by the nomination alone, but never in my life did I expect to win the ‘Senior Volunteer’ award amongst such strong and worthy candidates. I am so proud and honoured in being able to represent and see Chineham Park Running Club’s name alongside other established Basingstoke sports clubs at this prestigious event tonight.”
“We will work even harder in 2013 and be back at the Apollo Hotel next year to have another chance of winning ‘Club of the Year’".
After the amazing success at the awards, it was business as usual, with Chineham Park Runners doing what they do best.
Numerous members ran the Basingstoke Park Run (5kms), and whilst a group headed off to compete in the Spitfire 20 mile race, CPRC runners also competed in the Silverstone half marathon and finally a cross country team travelled to Havant for the last cross country race of the season.
In total the collective club mileage for this weekend is well over 250 miles.
