There was a strong turnout from Almosts Athletes at the 22nd Cleevewold Race and competitors were blessed with unseasonably warm conditions. Dave Horne led for the club throughout the tough 14.5 mile race finishing in 3rd place, just 3 minutes behind the leaders. Chris Midgley powered through the field in the latter stages of the race finishing in 18th place, around 20 seconds ahead of Nick Lewis in 19th.

Seven Almosts made the journey to Merthyr Tydfil to take part in the San Domenico 20 mile race as part of their final preparations for Spring marathons. Preparing for Milton Keynes in April, John Bailey led the Almosts home in 2:50:56.  Next back were husband and wife team Anne-Marie and Mark Willicott, who crossed the line together in 2:55:45, an improvement of four minutes on Anne-Marie's 2011 time.
