THE Runners and Riders clash is a staple part of Colchester s sporting programme at Christmas. The muddy showdown is a highlight for both competitors and spectators and takes place in Friday Woods, on Boxing Day morning. Hardy runners and cyclists normally go for glory in pursuit of the coveted Markham Cup but this year, sadly, the event has been cancelled because of Covid-19 restrictions. It s a real blow for a unique competition that first took place on February 17, 1930, starting at The Britannia pub, in Berechurch Road. This was the local athletic club s headquarters at the time. The course was over six miles and first and second positions went to the Kettle brothers.

State contact tracing data does show that roughly 74% of the recent surge of COVID-19 has come from household and social gatherings.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo released that data during a press conference on Friday, noting that the state found 46,000 data points. Of that data, 73.84% shows that private household gatherings are driving the spread.
Close behind, at 7.81% of the spread is from healthcare delivery, 2.02% comes from higher education students and 1.5% of the spread comes from education employees, among other metric points.
Among those contributing least to the spread are hair and personal care activities, which account for .14% of the spread, and gyms, which account for .06% of the spread.
