Most Improved Runner of the Year
First awarded in 2009, this trophy recognises the steps a member has taken to become a better runner over the previous year.

It is awarded annually, being based on an open vote of all members.
2011 - Lesley Cole
  • Incredible improvement in race times whilst maintaining a very caring and supportive attitude to other runners.
  • Has made huge improvements in her physical fitness, as demonstrated amply by the Personal Best times that she has achieved at all distances from 5 miles to Half Marathon
  • When doesn't Lesley run a pb? She pushes herself in every race, and deserves this award for a wonderful year of running.
  • She has just gone from strength to strength this year. She has clearly been putting in the hours and the effort and is consequently reaping the rewards by smashing her PBs and upping her percentages time and time again. Inspirational.
2010 - Katie Latham Gone from strength to strength - ever improving race times.
2009 - Nick Dunning For great PB improvements across a range of distances.
