Captain’s Message to the Centurions

My fellow Centurions
At our recent AGM, I had the honour to be elected your first female Captain. I will do all I can to be worthy of that honour and to be an ambassador for our sport. In this role, I know I stand on the shoulders of giants – the giants of our first 100 years who inspired you and me to become Centurions and helped us in that endeavour. On behalf of us all, I thank Charlie Weston, our Captain for the past 7 years, who has represented the Centurions with distinction and has welcomed many new Centurions at our qualifying events.
Following our very successful centenary in 2011 and on the threshold of our second century, our challenge now is to inspire the Centurions of the future. We want to reach out to a wide community of men and women – race-walkers, cross-country walkers, runners – to capture their imagination and ignite their ambition and their dream to become Centurions.
Our 2012 100 mile race is to be held in Colchester on 22-23 September. This will incorporate the RWA 50kms national championship. Please be there if you can, to walk or help, or both! We want our events to encourage aspiring Centurions to come and have a go, and encourage current Centurions to come and walk again.
Centurions at the AGM had many ideas for future events, and your Committee will look at developments in long-distance racing around the world as we take forward our great traditions and ensure a strong future, involving all Centurions wherever they may be.
I send my best wishes and look forward to working and walking with you all.

Sandra Brown (C735)
Captain
