NS Poly Grand Prix, 4th November 2025

The 3rd event of this year’s series was squeezed between the official fireworks displays and Guy Fawkes Night itself and, appropriately enough, there were some fireworks from the Claremont runners!

Bang! Peter Noble came home in first place more than a minute ahead of hos nearest rival. Bang! Lena Lou continued her great run of form to grab 3rd place. Bang! Harry Mawdsley is 3rd fastest runner on the night. Bang! Dean O’Brien’s excellent run takes him up to 5th place in the individual standings.

So, it was a good night for the Claremont teams despite the absence of a few runners who were either injured or away (or both in my case!), and all have moved themselves a few places up the table. True Blood Blues lead the way in 10th, with Rock’s Stars 13th and The Full Claremonty in 22nd place.
