The male and female club runners of the year were given to Linda Tout and Anthony Worthington for their outstanding contributions to this year’s Cornish GP series, both securing age group wins.

Linda qualified to run a marathon for England and Great Britain and won a silver medal in the GB Championships.

The male and female most improved awards went to Sid Standlick and Ayesha Gillespie.

Sid was a couch to 5k graduate who swiftly progressed through the groups on training nights.

Other trophy winners were group leader of the year, which was given to Julia Mansell, a selfless member of the club who has dedicated endless amounts of time in supporting members old and new.

Club member of the year was given to Maggie Bunting for her contribution to the running of the club. She often arranges the groups for the evening on training nights and has been a committee member since the inception of the club. Male and female triathletes were Finlay Allen and Mel Hancock.

Club colour awards were given to team members who represented Tamar Trotters at eight or more events in the Cornish Grand Prix Series.

These were awarded to Dominic Parnell, Ayesha Gillespie, Linda Tout, Lyn Coffman, Jane Coffman, Steve Baker, Darren Blenkinsop and Anthony Worthington.

The new club kit was also launched, so look out for runners on training nights on a Tuesday or a Thursday, at park runs, or any races this year.

A huge thank you was given to the retiring committee members for the dedication to the club.
