The Mike Thurgood Salver

2025 WINNER: COLIN RICKETTS

First awarded in 1997, this award is for the Club Runner of the Year.

The award recognizes the club member who has made a major contribution to all results over all running disciplines throughout the year.

Having been a member of the club, Mike Thurgood, on his return to his native Australia, wanted to encourage participation for the Club at all levels and donated a silver salver to recognize the leading individual who did that the most each calendar year.

The recipient is determined by a system of points that was introduced by Mike with the original award, with points gained for racing over different distances and in the main events the club partakes in such as Cross Country Leagues, Road Grand Prix, County/Area/National Championships.
