THE Roadrunners’ anniversary book has attracted some warm praise…. from the man who started it all.
Stan Eldon, the man behind the formation of the club in 1987, said: “It’s a very special book. It was very well put together, so congratulations to all involved.”
Stan was presented with a copy of 30 Years Of Reading Roadrunners by the club’s archivist Chris Mason.
Chris, who did the lion’s share of the research for the book, handed over a complimentary copy at Stan’s home in Didcot.
Former Great Britain middle-distance and cross-country star Eldon, now 81, helped set up the club following his Reading Half Marathon training sessions in Palmer Park.
He said: “It was great to catch up with Chris, one of the best athletes in the club’s history.”
Stan and his wife Marion recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
His own autobiography, Life On The Run, is no longer in print but is on sale as an ebook on Amazon.
30 Years Of Reading Roadrunners is selling well, so make sure you grab a copy before the Christmas rush. It is on sale at £3 from the foyer at Palmer Park before Wednesday evening track sessions.

Wake up close to the action.
Get to the start on time.
Hi from a sunny Sydney, Australia! I am reaching out to create awareness of GetToTheStart, which the runners may find useful.
GetToTheStart shows accommodation options (Airbnb’s, Hotels, B&B’s, Homestays, Apartments etc.) around the start line of a race, and how far it is to walk to the start. We work with the #1 global, trusted comparison sites Airbnb & HotelsCombined and have global races listed, with triathlons being in the process of being added.
Many races have been added and we are quality checking & adding over 35 000 more road races, triathlons, fell running events, parkruns, trail runs and mountain runs. If the race you are interested in is not up yet, pop me an email and I will get it up for you within 48hrs and personally respond with the link.
On a different note, if any of your club’s runners ever come to run in Sydney, our door is always open to host runners for free over here :-).
With running love,
Anna Edwards
