lford AC Boxing Day Handicap
Hainault Forest
December 26th 2019

A field of 18 runners brushed off the Turkey and Christmas hangover to toe the line for the 11th annual Ilford AC Boxing day handicap.

The route is 3.3 miles through the hills and mud of Hainault Forest and forms one lap of the clubs own 10 mile championships
This year, for the second time, the course was marked out due to people getting lost and running their own route in previous years.

As in previous years a member of the Hick family ran out as winners with Wayne Hick recording 48:08 for first place, just beating Steve Philcox who came in just 9 seconds later. Steve was closely followed by Denis Brigs 48:27, Danny Holeyman 49:04 and George and Matthew Hick who had their own little battle finishing 5th and 6th in times of 49:09 and 49:16.

Special mention to the youngest member out there in the mud Noah Crawley who placed 7th place in 49:21 to win some sweets.

First lady home was a lady who has worked really hard this year to come back from a little time away from competing Sharon Honey who finished in 49:23, just over a minute from the leaders.

Next lady home was Launa Broadley who’s screams as she encountered the mud brought attention from miles around.

Finishing in last place, obviously too full of the Christmas Spirit(s) was Billy Green in 52:23 – a full 4 minutes from threatening the leader board!

Ilford AC Boxing Day Handicap
Hainault Forest
December 26th 2017

A record field of 23 brushed off the Turkey and Christmas hangover’s to toe the line for the 9th annual Ilford AC Boxing day handicap. The overnight rain had turned the course into the usual swamp and choice of footwear was completely irrelevant.

The idea of the handicap is that the slower runners go off first at varying time intervals and the fastest runner goes off last and tries to catch everyone, unfortunately time constraints meant the course was not marked or marshalled. A few people were unaware of the course and made up their own route.

First off were Sharon and Roger Honey, with Roger being a former 110m hurdler the race was slightly over distance, they were followed by Julia Galea, Sally Gillam and Pauline Tester. New member Anna Crawley off 4 minutes made a good start. The Hick family had dominated the race the last two years, and young Aaron aged just 9 was competing in the race for the first time. Eventually after 20 minutes the last runner Paul Grange of Havering went off.

The on course report suggested that Satha was struggling with the mud, Jak Wright had lost one of his shoes and at a certain point of the course everybody had chosen their own route. Meanwhile back at the front of the race Anna was making the most of her generous handicap and had moved into the lead. Further down the field young Aaron was passing people and Stephen Philcox was moving the fastest.

Anna held onto her lead to win by 41 seconds, from Sally Gillam, closely followed by Pauline Tester.
First male home in 5th place was former winner Alun Jones and another former winner Matthew was the first of the Hicks home, closely followed by younger brother Aaron. Steve Philcox turned out to be the fastest of the day for 15th

Boxing Day 2015 – Quick Hick Wins Boxing Day Handicap.
A record field of 17 brushed aside the excesses of Christmas day to toe the line at the Club’s 7th annual Ilford AC Boxing Day handicap.
The race takes place over 3 miles of some of the muddiest sections of Hainault Forest. First to go off was Doris Gaga and then the other athletes at regular intervals until finally after 11 minutes scratch man Ahmed Abdulle set off.
Ernie Forsyth had quickly overtaken, Doris and was the leader at half way, but 11 year old Matthew Hick was moving through the field, together with his father Wayne. Further back Tom Gardner was rapidly gaining ground. However scratch runner Ahmed had trouble with the local wildlife and had to hide behind a tree to let both horses and dogs go past him.
