Yorkshire Marathon
This weekend saw Martin Howlett and Rachel Malerick take on the Yorkshire Marathon with a flatter route than expected considering that it was Yorkshire and completing the route in a great time of 3:27:43, Rachel and her son Matt completed the marathon in 5:28 having to walk the final 5 miles due to hamstrings, proving how tough these marathons can be even when you have trained so hard.
Oxford Half
Over in Oxfordshire Joanne Reeves and her husband Andy Debnam took on the Oxford Half advertised as running in the city of “dreaming spires” this event taking place like many for the first time in a while, Andy completed the course in 1:54 and Joanne at 2:53.
Chelmsford Half
Lone soldier Mike Hopkins headed out to Chelmsford on Sunday finishing in a time of 1:42 a great time but confessing that ,”I need to do more long runs!” but the stylish medal was certainly worth running for.
Burnham 10k
