HAVOC Club Championships 2026 Club Champions for 2026 announced

5th May 26

The HAVOC Club Championships took place at the SAX King's Forest regional event on Sunday April 26th.

It was a lovely sunny morning, and the forest looked absolutely stunning with fields of bluebells carpeting much of the forest floor.  It was generally pretty runnable, and the courses made good use of the blocks of forest and earth features.

We lost a few competitors to holidays and the London Marathon taking place on the same day, but we still managed 5 juniors, 8 men and 1 woman.

The women's championship was therefore an uncontested run for Jenny Gebka, who nevertheless put in a good performance round the Green.  It was a close run thing for the Men's championship.  Guy Lidbury won the Blue course outright, but his time per km was just shy of Ted Coday's, so Ted takes the Open Championship, with Guy winning the handicap title.

The junior championship was also tighty contested, with all five juniors running different courses on the day!  Time per km, once adjusted for age saw Charlie Maule-Lidbury just edge out brother Hugo for best boy on the day.  Best girl was awarded to Amelie Maule-Lidbury who had the better time on shared legs with Sienna Muggeridge.  As all juniors (the four mentioned, plus Olivia Muggeridge who ran White) were the top HAVOC runner on their respective courses, they all win medals!

Congratulations to our winners, and to all who ran on the day.

Trophies and medals will be presented at the club dinner later in May.
